Rice Pending Gravitation is a diverse team of Rice University undergraduates. The team is attempting to build an electromagnetic sensor that would provide a method to locating space vehicles in microgravity. It will build three identical electromagnetic sensors, each pointing in a different axial direction. The instrument will calculate the displacement of a space vehicle from its non-accelerating trajectory. Current position sensing technology decreases in accuracy over long period of time. The proposed electromagnetic sensors would provide a method to locating space vehicles in microgravity that  is not encumbered to short-time space expeditions and uses less energy than existing position sensing technology.

Rice Pending Gravitation would like to thank the Rice Space Institute for being instrumental in enabling us to perform our experiment.
