The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will soon put in orbit a small satellite dubbed “CINEMA,” developed by a group of eight Puerto Rican engineering students in collaboration with engineers and scientists from the University of California at Berkeley.
The Puerto Rico Institute of Robotics, a local nonprofit dedicated to sparking the interest and knowledge among students in the disciplines of science, math, engineering, and technology, has been chosen among nine organizations that will partner with NASA this summer to help the agency implement its 2011 “Summer of Innovation” education program.
