Show MPJH gets satellite dish By GREG BARNES The satellite dish used in Mrs. Ord's ninth grade classes at Mueller Park Junior High is up and operating thanks to three Weber State senior students who are working work-ing on their senior project: Dee Clint, Dave and Enos Cummings. Work started on this project in August and was completed on Feb. 11. Mrs. Ord has received a new computer, printer, satellite dish and antenna. They are all used to pick up images from polar-orbiting NOAA satellites and GOES satellites that are stationed over the equator. The images show clouds, weather patterns and temperature variations. All of Mrs. Ord's ninth grade students will take rums operating the receiving station. Soon the students will be giving weather reports over the intercom every week or so. It took a lot of time and hard work to get this system going. Mrs. Ord would like to thank the Mueller Park custodians, students and staff for all their help. |
