Sandbox Accounts Working

SANDBOX ACCOUNTS

ARE NOW WORKING

​

The ZR team has successfully been able to get the sandboxed accounts up and running. Should you wish to use the sandbox accounts during the ALLIANCE phase, this may be a great way to manage your “new” larger team.

​

If you requested accounts, they will be sent to you today.

If any instructors are still interested in setting up accounts for your students, email ZeroRobotics@MIT.edu

and a member of the ZR team will set those up ASAP.

THE MISSION PATCH:

The Expedition 69 patch reflects the mission of the International Space Station to enable long-term exploration of space, for the benefit of Earth. The unique mosaic design is inspired by the vintage, Art Deco stained glass window in Star City, Russia that provides a stylistic portrayal of the beauty of space exploration. The number “69” forms a circle to symbolize the international partnerships and collaboration that make the space station program possible. The Earth is the central element inside the “6,” as our home planet and the primary beneficiary of research onboard space station. The star shining from Earth, spanning multiple continents, represents the ground teams around the world who support every aspect of this expedition and ensure our safe return home. The space station itself signifies the contributions of thousands of people over the past several decades, whose vision and sustained efforts have made this miracle of a laboratory an unparalleled success. Looking towards the future, the next big steps in human space exploration are reflected in the Moon and Mars. The sun around Mars is symbolic of the human imagination, curiosity, and ingenuity that draws us to explore. The two white stars in the sky are taken directly from the Star City mural. The larger star represents the family and friends whose love and support makes this endeavor possible. The smaller star represents the explorers who came before us and helped pave the way to the stars. Credits: NASA
