Letters from New Jersey fourth graders written about the Sentinel Mission that will send an underwater glider circling world's oceans collecting data. Rutgers University students went out into classrooms teaching about the mission, collected the letters and digitized them. They will be carried onboard the Redwing glider. The letters will be printed and shown to local school children at the glider's 7 ports of call. Photo taken on Oct. 10, 2025Steve Heaslip
