The student designs were the main attraction at a kick-off meeting that celebrated the founding of a non-profit that will work towards the creation of the SEEC at the Goddard Space Flight Center. Images of student designs were projected on the walls of the auditorium throughout the event and served as a backdrop for the speakers. Student models were also on display. Distinguished guests in attendance included Senator Barbara Mikulski and Kristi Brown, Special Assistant for Strategy and Development, Office of the Director, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
