There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

NASA announced last month it will recruit a team of Georgia Tech researchers for a new project. The team, called REVEALS (Radiation Effect on Volatiles and Exploration of Asteroids and Lunar Surfaces), will study radiation on other planets and build radiation-proof space suits. What can this technology do for us in space exploration? Georgia Public Broadcasting interviews Thomas Orlando, a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the director of the Georgia Tech Center for Space Technology and Research (CSTAR), and the leader of the REVEALS team.
