The Mars Gravity Biosatellite team is developing an earth-orbiting satellite to study the effects of Martian-level gravity on mammals, a key step in preparing for the human exploration of Mars. This partnership of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Washington (UW), and the University of Queensland (UQ) provides a unique opportunity for student involvement in technology development, ground-breaking research, and international collaboration.
