Student Spaceflight Experiments Program
Student Spaceflight Experiments Program
Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students at Stony Brook School are participating in a national model STEM education program engaging over 300 of our students in a very real microgravity experiment design and proposal writing. Their participation culminates in one of the student-proposed experiments selected to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit, where it will be operated by the astronauts. The experiment would be part of a payload for Student Spaceflight Experiments Program Mission 14 to ISS, which will launch in spring/summer 2020.
