The Open Research Institute Projects Meetup featured updates on various ongoing projects, including a presentation by Oscar on the RockSatX 2027 project involving student-led experiments in space.
University of Puerto Rico students construct and deploy scientific experiments during NASA sounding rocket flights to study atmospheric conditions, chemical reactions, and other phenomena in space. The 2026 project proposal focuses on analyzing data using machine learning and multi-sensor fusion techniques, with students working on the research at the University and also under NASA scholarships.
Oscar explained how the experiments would happen during the rocket's flight phases, including re-entry, and emphasized the importance of understanding atmospheric interactions and potential anomalies. The role of Machine Learning is to respond to anomalies so that data is not lost.
