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.
Jeff, are the student experiments on board this spacecraft? Sorry, I wasn’t clear on the next date. I am so glad it is turning out so well. Perhaps there will come a day again when NASA has the funding to help out with financing SpaceEx. On the other hand, maybe they are better off without!! In any case, it is a grand “next step” for space exploration.
Do you have your ticket for the first manned flight??
Best wishes to everyone involved!!
