Cram course in satellite technology at Stanford/NASA for Romanian students

Aero-Astro Professor Bob Twiggs goes through the nuts and bolts of building a tiny satellite for visiting Romanian engineering and physics students. From Bucharest, they will take what they have learned and will build the first satellite ever to be made in Romania, scheduled for launch in 2007. It was a cram course: Elements of Twigg's normal 10-week program corkscrewed into just five days.
