With the Fall 2004 semester, the TSGC Design CHALLENGE began its fifth semester. One team returns to continue work begun during the Spring. Special thanks go to the researchers and research groups from the NASA Johnson Space Center who offered another round of exciting design project topics for team selection this semester.
