Police and Public Safety at Penn State Abington plans to offer a series of safety trainings. The first, Active Shooter Readiness Training, will be held on Sept. 25.
Penn State Abington has partnered with artist David Buckley Borden to create a temporary public art installation through Penn State’s Campus Arts Initiative. It will present a visualization of data surrounding climate change with Abington students engaging in the outdoor sculpture’s development process.
Penn State Abington student Cezary Krysztofiak used a CNC machine to fabricate an aluminum structure for CubeSat within the required tolerance of < 0.1 mm. A CNC, or computer numerical control machine, is a high-precision tool that is computer-controlled and makes repeated, accurate movements.
To test how the prototype would perform at high altitudes, Penn State Abington student Lingqi Li used the cooling baths method to model the temperature of the stratosphere at minus 56 degrees Celsius (approximately minus 69 degrees Fahrenheit). After several versions of these tests, the students could identify which components would satisfy the thermal requirements of flight tests.
