AI Thread Summary
The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is being considered for its Aerospace Engineering program, but opinions vary on its industry reputation. Some recommend exploring other institutions like the Florida Institute of Technology, which offers strong connections to NASA and defense industries. Georgia Tech, MIT, Penn State, and the University of Michigan are also highlighted as top alternatives for aerospace engineering. Overall, prospective students should evaluate multiple programs based on industry connections and personal preferences. Researching these options can help in making an informed decision.

My daughter is looking at colleges for Aerospace Engineering and is considering University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I was just wondering how the industry regards this schools.

Thanks!

I highly recommend the Florida Institute of Technology. I am currently a Freshman in AE and I love it here. Supreme location for Nasa and defense oriented industries. I would also look into Georgia Tech, MIT, Penn State, or University of Michigan.
 
Venus does not have a magnetosphere, so the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) environment shall be much worse than in a LEO environment. Looking to the std radiation models for Venus, the standard radiation-hard space level electronic component with tested immunity LET = 85 MeV-cm2/mg seems not enough, so, for example, a 1cm2 Si die will suffer considerable flux above this level during a long mission (10 years for example). So, the question is, usually we are not paying attention to latch-up...
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
Thread 'SpaceX Starship development: 7th flight January 10'
Watch the progress live This is a fully stacked Starship (top) and Super Heavy (bottom). A couple of too-small-to-see cars near the bottom for scale, I also added a Saturn V and the Statue of Liberty for comparison. 120 meters tall, about 5000 tonnes when fully fueled. Twice the mass and over twice the thrust of Saturn V. The largest rocket ever built by mass, thrust, height, and payload capacity. N1 had the largest diameter.[/size] But its size is not the revolutionary part. It is designed...
