Editor’s note: Late last year, NASA ARC’s GeneSat-1 was launched from Wallops Flight Facility. This small satellite was unqiue in many ways for a NASA project – it’s small size – and it’s payload – cutting edge genomics instrumentation. In addition, the operation of the spacecraft had a hefty student component. (See GeneSat News)

These three YouTube videos document many of the activities by these students at Santa Clara University and their participation in the GeneSat-1 mission.
