[HABET] Welcome back students








It's hard to believe, but once again we have another fall semester to
look forward.  There have been many changes here to the lab, and so I
would like to take some time to introduce those changes.

First of all, please welcome Dr. Bong Wie as the new director to the
lab.  In addition to Dr. Bong Wie, we also have Dr. Soon-Jo Chung who
will also be very active in the lab.  Both of them have a lot of
expertise, and fresh ideas to bring to the lab and the projects that it
hosts.  So please welcome them to ISU and the lab.

In addition to our new faculty involved with the lab, the name of the
lab is also changing.  We are officially now the Space Systems and
Controls Lab (SSCL).  While the name of the lab has changed, many of the
things that we do here at the lab will not.  HABET will still play a
significant role in the lab.  Many of our other existing projects will
also remain unchanged.  We will however be growing in the lab with
additional projects and students that will be active in the lab.  And we
will of course continue our commitment to helping students become
leaders in the areas of Aerospace Engineering and Systems Engineering as
well as in other disciplines of engineering.

With the new name of the lab we will also be re-organing both the
website for the lab, as well as our mailing lists.  Please read the
following if you wish to continue to receive emails about the HABET 
program.

We will create a new mailing list called sscl-habet at iastate.edu.  If you
are currently on this list, with an active iastate.edu, you will
automatically be transferred to the new list.  For all other email
domains, you need to contact me to remain on the list.  The list will
continue to announce upcoming balloon flights, but otherwise the traffic
will be light (as in the past).  The new list will go into effect this
Wednesday.

As far as upcoming flights go, HABET flight L-100-A (Altitude record
flight) is scheduled for September 1st.  However, that date may change. 
More information on that flight will be sent out later.

Again, to all the students, welcome back to campus!
