Cargo Transfer Bag (CTB) is proudly on display at ORHS. This CTB was
made here at ORHS in the Fashion Design classes. It was later flown to
the International Space Station and used by astronauts then returned
to earth and its place of origin.
The assignment: Crew Quarters Organizer. The organizer
was designed in part and 100% sewn here at ORHS. Two
summer programs and one school year is what it took to
complete a product that was ready for astronauts to use in
space. It was used and critiqued by Astronaut Reid Wiseman
in November 2014 during an actual space mission. The link
below will lead you to a video of the astronauts review and
suggestions. The two astronauts in the video are the first to
use the CQ Organizer, but not the last, as they will be used by
many that follow. NASA has requested two more to be made
so more astronauts can benefit from the products made here
at ORHS.
