High School Aerospace Scholars is an interactive on-line learning
experience, highlighted by a six-day internship where selected
students are encouraged to study math, science, engineering, or
computer science by interacting with engineers at the NASA Johnson

Used onboard an aircraft to record flight parameters; collected
data determines whether the aircraft is deviating from standard
procedures or operating limitations. A computer analysis identifies
deviation trends and takes action to prevent accidents.
