Fly student research in microgravity onboard the Zero-G parabolic aircraft. This is an immersive experience, where the teacher meets with flight mentors weekly on an industry-aligned project. Student designed, built, and tested. Teacher flown.
Using materials available onboard the ISS, teachers propose student-designed experiments that a crew member performs onboard the International Space Station. Videos are returned to classrooms for post-flight analysis. No launch required.
By partnering with the Space for Teachers, SEES offers a competitive selection process to fly four students and their research in microgravity onboard a parabolic aircraft. Students meet with SfT mentors weekly on industry standard design review and payload integration.
Three days on the fundamentals of microgravity research. Held at the University of Texas Center for Space Research.
