MIC Building - Energy Compliant Building

In the MIC Building it is Energy Compliant. This a really cool Light Design!

We are standing on the main floor of the building and looking up you can see a Sky light to the 3rd Floor.

Now we are on the 3rd floor looking down!

This is the light up close you can see the LED's that makes up the light. Unfortunately it was not working when we were there. I said we need to be invited back when it is working, The others with the #NASASocial Media Tours agreed with me.
I would love to see it working!

This was outside the 3rd Floor.

3D CAVE Environment/ Graphics Visualization Lab

This was cool to play around with. When the metal object is placed on the square the heat form the temperature in the metal show where the temperature changed. It first started with one circle and then another person added one more circle. Then a ( was added and so it turned into a Smiley face!

This was Awesome to see this! In here the images are projected onto the wall in 3D. They show us how they worked on the insides of a rocket virtually.   

Integrated Radio Optical Communications (iROC) Satellite Project

This was the second room on the tour of NASA Glenn Research Center, We had to put on the blue lab coats as it was a clean room. It was really great to be able to see were Space is being studied and also see so many things up close. It was so amazing to also know that this is all done in Cleveland, Ohio.

This is right as you walk into the room.

So many great questions asked!

#NASASocial Media Welcome

On December 3, 2014 Ray, I and Petey were selected to attend the NASASocail Media event at the NASA Glenn Research Center,  We were to meet at the Main Gate and there we go the Yellow Badges. Then the bus would take is on the would take us to were we are to meet the others. 

My Social Media Badge that I got to keep!

This one we had to return! I wish I could have kept it but a picture will have to do.  

Waiting for the morning to begin with the Welcoming and information about the Orion Mission and other amazing facts! Being an Air Force Brat I was so amazed with all the things happening with Orion I was so lost in the learning that I did not Tweet that day. I would LOVE to return again one day for more tours of the facility!

 Thank You Kathy Zona for the wonderful opportunity to participate in the NASA Social event for Orion!
 

And now let the Tours begin!
