Intuitive Machines, the company developing the Nova-C, offered Engineering<\/a> students at Embry-Riddle this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity \u2014 to design and build a camera system that will deploy from the Nova-C to capture the landing and, in the process, become the first university student project ever to land on the moon.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Supported by a network of national scientists, Embry-Riddle\u2019s \u201cEagleCam\u201d team<\/a> \u2014 three Engineering professors along with a large interdisciplinary team of students \u2014 is designing a camera and communication system, or CubeSat, to launch to the moon and shoot the astronomical selfie. Just before approach, the CubeSat will deploy and freefall 100 feet to the surface to give the world its first glimpse of the spacecraft\u2019s lunar landing.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
