Grade 5-14 Student Researcher Microgravity Experiments Selected By SSEP to Fly in March 2012
to the International Space Station via NanoRacks LLC - NCESSE - Jan.5.12
The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in partnership with NanoRacks, LLC, announces the selection of 15 microgravity experiments to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Soyuz 30, scheduled for launch in March 2012. The experiments were selected as part of Mission 1 to ISS, the third flight opportunity provided by America’s Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). The first two flight opportunities were on the final flights of Shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis.
In response to an announcement of opportunity in July 2011, 12 communities in 9 States and the District of Columbia are participating in Mission ...
