The Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles and Directed Energy Directorates volunteered in assisting with the “Discover STEM” week Feb. 11-15 at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque. Presenters talked to students about their careers in science, engineering, technology and mathematics, and what motivated them to become scientists. Michael Martin and 2nd Lt. Benjamin Jewell demonstrate to students the effects of a balloon being frozen by cryogenics. Cryogenic refrigeration technology for satellites can enable the performance of onboard infrared sensors to enhance missile detection, conduct intelligence gathering and enable space situational awareness.
