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

At 8:44 p.m. ET, a SpaceX Dragon capsule is scheduled to blast off toward the International Space Station carrying supplies, scientific experiments, and a payload the fourth-year biomedical engineering student has been working on for months as part of her internship with a company called Space Tango.
“It has completely reshaped what I imagined for myself, career-wise, professionally, academically,” said Frey, who originally was thinking premed when she came to the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. “There’s something about space that, once you’re working on it, it’s addictive.”
