About NASA SkyWatch

NASA SkyWatch is an application developed by NASA and the United Space Alliance, or USA, in cooperation with Texas Southern University. Funded by the Dual Use Academic Liaison project, USA strives to increase community involvement by introducing college students to "real world" challenges. Future Dual Use Academic Liaison projects include real time trajectory monitoring and enhanced state vector display applications.

Although developed almost entirely by the students, NASA SkyWatch could not have been completed without the enormous support from engineers and professionals at both USA and NASA-JSC. The following individuals are recognized for their significant contribution to this project:

At NASA	At USA	At Texas Southern
Mr. Ron Epps Mr. Rick Gavin Ms. Pam McCraw Mr. Don Pearson Mr. Bob Stein Mr. Jon Weaver	Mr. Dan Adamo Mr. Charlie Barrett Mr. Keith Fletcher Mr. Bill Tracy Mr. Steve Weismuller Ms. Cynthia Wells	Mr. Elgin Amboree Ms. Dawn Foster Dr. Moshen Javadian Mr. Claude Jenkins Mr. Derrick Douglas Mr. Gus Jones Mr. Shaji Markose Mr. Richard Osborne Dr. Etta Walker

Special thanks is also extended to Mr. Roger Balettie at the University of Texas Applied Research Laboratory and to Mr. John Gordeuk for their development of many of the algorithms used in this application.
