Hello!

I go to Guilderland High School in Albany, NY. 

I am in a course called Science Research at my high school. Science Research is a class held through the University in the High School Program at the University at Albany. The class offers students the chance to research a selected topic if they are interested. As the year continues, the students are expected to create quarterly presentations on the research they individually did. Students complete a midterm at the end of the first semester and a final at the end of the year. In the 2nd and 3rd years, students are eligible for college credit and are expected to have a mentor who can help them with their research. My mentor is Dr. Kurt Anderson of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

My Research Project:

I am focused on the atmospheric orbital decay of a spacecraft. I want to look at how different factors of a spacecraft's descent in space affect its ending velocity, mass, and position.
