Every year the University of Maryland hosts a grand open house called "Maryland Day". The Space Systems Lab always opens our doors wide and welcomes the public to come see what we've been up to. The MX-2 is always one of the big attractions and this year will be no different as we will put on a show involving the MX-2 starting around 1:00 PM. Our suit subject will be working on a mockup of Hubble Bay 10, where he will be performing some of the servicing tasks the real astronauts will perform on STS-125 this fall. We will be using our speech recognition system as well as the heads-up display to aid the suit subject with these difficult tasks.
Everyone is invited to stop by! The lab will be open for general viewing from 10AM until 4PM. In addition to MX2 activities there will also be robots in the water, rovers to drive around, and many fun things to see and do.
