Abstract
We describe four student designed experiments by the Pennsylvania State University, which are planned for a GAS canister. The four experiments will measure; the effects of radiation on semiconductors, orbital debris impacts, the Space Shuttle's magnetic field, and the photoelectric yield of several different materials. These experiments are the result of the efforts of more than one hundred students.
