History of NASA projects at ACC

A previous team of Austin Community College students was selected in 2002 by NASA to perform their experiment "Testing the Physiological and Psychological Side Effects of Superficially Inducing Earth's Gravitational Pull on a Human Subject in Microgravity". Abstract

These students tested the effects of microgravity on performance, and sought to demonstrate an elastic harness designed to improve performance and mitigate the damage of long term weightlessness.

Here's a photo of ( former ) ACC student flight team members Courtney Fritz and Julia Braulick doing the experiment on Flight Day 1.
