Monday was a busy day for the students.  They got their experiment ready to go for the TRR (Test Readiness Review) where big NASA officials come around and they have to explain their experiment and the officials make sure that everything is safe.  After the TRR is complete then, it's time to get our experiment loaded into the NASA glovebox and then loaded onto the zero G plane.  The NASA glovebox has to be padded to ensure that when the zero G flyers are coming back into G mode from weightlessness that they don't get hurt on any sharp edges.  Inside the aircraft we hung our Clear Springs NASA banner and then got the glovebox bolted into the floor of the aircraft.  We got the knee straps and hand helds locked into place so that the flyers have something to hold onto during weightlessness.  After loading the plane, then the student flyers were getting their flight suits to prepare for their flight day on Wednesday.
