STELLA Highlights
When Inna and Alexa first encountered NASA's STELLA instruments, neither expected the transformative journey ahead—from intimidation to innovation in just 10 weeks.
Inna Shapovalenko and Alexa Matson's collaborative journey with the STELLA project showcases how open-source engineering provides students with real-world skills through hardware design, software development, and community-driven innovation.
The culmination of Bianca's calibration work may be a research paper that establishes STELLA's credibility as a scientific instrument rather than just an educational tool.
