To culminate our semester class of designing a spacecraft mission, we got to spend a week (only 3 days really) with Team X, the project design group at JPL. For more information on the class and our project, you can visit the class page.
We got into Pasadena early. Jim had a meeting with a Caltech seismologist,
so while he was doing that Jason led Jani, Sarah, and I on a little tour
of the campus. Here are Jason, Jani, and Sarah in front of the "Gene Pool"
at Caltech.

Our first morning was an early morning, because we needed to get out to
JPL and get everyone badged. Here is a shot of us in the hotel lobby
waiting for everyone to show up.

After our first day at JPL, we had a little get together in a hotel conference
room to talk about our plan for the following days.

In the course of our various tours around JPL, Jason spotted this humorous
"E-mail etiquette" sign that he requested I take a picture of.

Thursday was our last day working with Team X, and I got a lot of
good shots of the students working with the Team X engineers. There
is a particularly good picture of Celinda, who was acting as our
Project Manager, flanked by Bob Gershmann and Roger Diehl, who have
been Project Managers on actual missions. Jani also volunteered
to take some pictures of me and Amy acting as the PIs at the head
table with the swirling chaos of Team X happening around us.
