the nanosatellite created by the team at oakwood is called nanosat. it's a nod to a popular internet meme, which hopefully you guys can explain a little bit more to me later about that. but for more, we're joined here in studio by two of the oakwood students who are part of this project, junior lauren saucy, as well as senior researcher cavale. thank you both for being here. and first of all, congratulations from all of us at ktvu. this is really an incredible achievement. lauren, what does this mean to you and to your teammates at oakwood to be selected by nasa for this initiative? >> i mean, it's an honor to be selected. we've worked very hard the past three years on making a proposal, designing our mission, designing components like our structure and electrical, like our whole satellite. it's been a whole process, and we're very honored that our hard work has been acknowledged and that we were chosen. >> yeah, i'm sure you must have poured your your hearts and your souls and put a lot of hours into this. what brashear talked to me about the process

dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> all right, way to go, oakwood. smart kids.ming for you 24 over seven. you can get the abc seven bay area streaming tv app, and that will let you join us whenever you want, wherever you are all right. that's going to do it for this edition of abc seven news at four. i'm larry biel, abc seven news at five is up next. abc seven news starts right now. >> 20-30 business. the whole bridge just fell down. start. start working, everybody. the whole bridge just collapsed. >> developing news out of baltimore

inspiring as many younger students as we can with our project, and we hope to reach all of them. >> the oakwood team was the only k through 12 school to be chosen by nasa. the other teams were universities or from universities. so quite the achievement for these students as well. okay, time for us to talk about our weather and pretty nice day out there. a nice day to maybe enjoy lunch outside because you're probably not going to be able to do that tomorrow, right? >> yeah. i think you want to you know, maximize these dry days because we have we have some more rain headed our way. now. the timing is always a challenge, right? it's never like raining off from sunrise to sunset. so we'll try to fine tune that time, okay? >> you're good at that. >> we'll make the attempt. thank you. but yeah, highs today was actually a nice day. as heather mentioned, you can see temperatures mainly in the mid topper 60s in the 50s out toward pacifica san jose 65 degrees. there's a weak system on the way for tomorrow, especially by this time tomorrow wednesday evening. and then into thursday. the possibility of some

nasa has launched more than 150 student designed satellites into space, and soon oakwood's nienstadtwill be one of them heading to the international space station. >> we've got a total of six pieces. the side panels are all identical right now, but one of them is going to change. >> it's a work in progress that started back in 2021. since then, students have designed this four by eight cube satellite with multiple functions. one uses acoustic mapping to see if an object is hollow or not, with greater reliability than existing methods. schools across the country were selected for this cubesat launch initiative, but only one featured the work of high school students. >> we're just incredibly proud of what these students have accomplished. they've done a bunch of real world engineering work where they have laid out circuit boards, and they've done structural design and they've built a satellite that i think will really advance what is possible to do in space in a number of ways. oakwood engineering instructor michael lyle says the goal of the class is to jump off the deep end and explor

auter] i can double the number of companies both limited money i have from oakwood got to make tough this weekend national governors association and iere like 15 ors who showed and they were allpar. big states chemical states so i feel p about. >> what you're, there seems to be enorms necessary to make our echo sy disturbed lucy maybe either horizon. how do you see the longevity? >> i'm pointing to my team because i say our meeting, don't be shortsighted.we have to havea like the end of last year we announced the board of rap stars and announced this year we launch excellence so we needt-te are 20 year long-term goals. if we are shortsighted, this is our one chance to get right aboe smaller ones? can you help tho or ideas? >> two points, we are determined to give small grant to small arf companies in the semiconductor supply chain. not building big , that requires skill but they might have materials that areinm have a whole initiative companies to give small grants. the majority will be told but many small companies are going to get funded but the thing youb or testing facility for d

all these rates group, supposedly oakwood, fire on crowds, new and 8 conroy in central, got almost 800 others who are those all the headlines that shaped the way we chose and check out all to the convo the news in depth. i will be back with the full run of the to the out the i'm action or can see i'm welcome back to going underground broadcasting over on the world from the u. a. am it's the genocide in palestine today and 8 months time, the country behind it will choose whether to elect donald trump again as president . that much may look even clearer. often tomorrow's super tuesday, even if president trump eventually has deposit himself to be released from prison. joining me now from have a job here in the u a is the official who was donald trump's wife has communications director. and today's scary movie that you so much for coming back on the show as the and, and joining us in the u. e. where we've moved to, since, since we were in london, i better off just off the top. you being with the finance minister of the you a why, why, why if you being with them and how come you're in the y

oakwood school is the only k through 12 school in this group, alongside eight universities.te called nyan sad. it includes an acoustic spacecraft mapping payload. students the sy learned to college for fields including aerospace engineering, the missions are scheduled tot& launch from 2025 throughú2028. >> all right, i hopeúyou had a nice day. temperatures slightly cooler. we had a bit of cloud cover out there. you see it behind me in the live camera shot sutro tower out, hung out much of the morning and then they backed away. we had someúsunshine and then the next system, this next littlest- storm series gets to hit the bay area. and it's going to be we could see some areas quarter of an inch of rain, but someúof the heavier areas two io theseúare not massive storms, but they're probably be what i would consider beneficial rainfall. rainfall that can be put into the reservoirs, and rainfall that'll be put into the snowpack, up around the lake, up around the sierra but they're go get another two feet of snow they may get a they may get up e spfeet. so keep our eyes on it. th

students at oakwood school designed a four by eight cube satellite with multiple functions.e functions is using acoustic mapping to see if an object is hollow. students say they never could have imagined their assignment would actually go to the international space station. >> it gave me an opportunity to apply everything that i learned through, like through the different classes that this school offers and put it into a real project. >> our work is going to be sent to space, and that's like exciting news for all of us. >> yeah. >> for us, they've been working on this for a year. since 2021, nasa launched more than 150 student designed satellites into space. i had no idea how. cool. >> yeah, that's something to be proud of. >> oh, there was like, drop the egg from the top of the building. that's it. >> did you do that and grow a lima bean? >> oh, we grew a lima bean. >> that to do anything like that, that matters. >> thank you. what we did counts . do i use it every day? sure. don't keep my eggs safe though when i get them from the grocery store. yeah. right here, right here
