Kingston Success with ESA's "Fly your Thesis!" Competition

Yesterday Kingston University's MEng Astronautics project team received notification from the ESA that their entry in the "Fly your Thesis!" competition has successfully progressed through the first phase.  The "Fly your Thesis!" competition will eventually allow up to 4 teams of Masters of PhD students to conduct experiments in a parabolic flight campaign next year.  The team (Carlos Munoz Moya, Hana Rabuzin, Adam Lambert and James Arkwright), with their proposal of investigating a chaotic dripping tap in reduced gravity, beat a large number of other international teams with a high quality of proposals to progress through the first phase of the competition.  

Kingston University's team now make up a core of up to 20 teams that have the chance in December to take part in workshop where they will present their scientific proposal to a panel of ESA judges.  Only 3 to 4 of the remaining 20 teams will be eventually selected to fly their experiment.

Congratulations again, and good luck!
