Field Trip

3/C midshipmen in Aerospace Engineering took a field trip to Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum on 23 MAR 2023 as a part of their Introduction to Aerospace Engineering course. The introduction course discusses fundamental concepts of air and space vehicles. It was a great opportunity for the students to be able to observe real-life examples of the key concepts they learned in class through observing airplanes, rockets, satellites, and engines displayed at the museum. The students also had an opportunity to speak with Bill Anders, USNA '55 who flew on Apollo 8 mission.
