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

A team from Georgia Tech won the Human Factors Design Award during NASA's BIG (Breakthrough, Innovative, Game-Changing) Ideas Challenge during a Nov. 18 virtual presentation. Seven teams of students from colleges and universities worked for a year and a half on the problem of how astronaut teams on future Moon missions could deal with the hazards of lunar dust. The team from Washington State University scored highest across evaluation criteria among the seven finalist teams to take the Challenge's top honor, the Artemis Award.
