USLI

Tarleton Aeronautical Team

Our team was launched in October 2011 thanks to the efforts put forth by our team leader, Dustin Neighbors, who at the time was a sophomore engineering physics major. With help from the math department, Dr. Bowen Brawner, and Dr. Bryant Wyatt, the team completed the 2011-2012 CanSat Competition with success.  For the 2012-2013 academic year, the team is looking forward to competing in NASA's University Student Launch Initiative (USLI).
