Updates to STS-134 Launch Critical Timeline for SSEP

By on April 5, 2011 in Program News

Based on the STS-134 launch slip to April 29, 2011, NCESSE has formally revised the milestone dates for student team submission of flight samples (fluids and solids) for their SSEP experiments.

All SSEP Community Program Directors, Teacher Facilitators, and Student Team members are urged to review changes on the following two SSEP pages:

STS-134 Submission of Experiment Samples for Flight page

STS-134  Critical Timeline page

Now doesn’t this all make you feel like you’re part of real human spaceflight and real research? Every professional researcher flying a payload on the Space Shuttle is going through exactly the same thing.

The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) is a program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in the U.S., and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education internationally. It is enabled through a strategic partnership with DreamUp PBC and NanoRacks LLC, which are working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory. SSEP is the first pre-college STEM education program that is both a U.S. national initiative and implemented as an on-orbit commercial space venture.
