Help Students Send an Experiment to Space
The
Commercial Reusable Experiments for Science and Technology (CREST-1) mission is
scheduled to fly aboard the historic last scheduled Space Shuttle flight
STS-134, launching 26 February 2011, and provides investigators with several
flight-proven, miniature laboratories that are capable of simultaneously
accommodating up to 120 separate bioscience investigations for microgravity
experimentation. More information can be found here: http://www.american-aerospace.net/crest1.html
American Aerospace would like to involve as many students as possible through the
Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP) http://ssep.ncesse.org/. The Space Shuttle
mission STS-134 was just recently pushed back to Feb 26, 2011. The good news is
that this places the timing of the SSEP science curriculum well within the
context of a single academic year. The bad news is that this gives American Aerospace a short
window in which to find funding to establish student programs by the beginning
of the school year, so that students can take full advantage of the opportunity.
