SSEP Mission 9 to ISS
Experiment Design Competition and Selection of Flight Experiments: Fall 2015
Flight to ISS: projected launch Summer 2016, on Space-X-10 (Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft); return to Earth at launch+1 month, on SpaceX-10 (see Flight Profile page)
The 21 communities profiled below are providing the opportunity for thousands of grade 5-12 students to design and propose real microgravity experiments for flight aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of SSEP Mission 9 to ISS – the 11th SSEP flight opportunity. Eight of the Mission 9 communities participated in at least one earlier SSEP flight opportunity. Mission 9 is the 7th flight opportunity for Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School in Fitchburg, MA. Mission 9 is the third flight opportunity for four communities – Santa Monica, CA; Hillsborough County, FL; North Charleston, SC; and Knox County, TN. Mission 9 to ISS also includes two communities in Canada – Vancouver, British Columbia, and Calgary, Alberta.
Each community conducts a local Flight Experiment Design Competition with student teams designing microgravity experiments across multiple disciplines. Each team submits a formal research proposal, vying for an experiment slot reserved just for their community in a real research mini-laboratory scheduled to fly on the International Space Station. The Mission 9 to ISS community leadership project that across the network of 21 communities a minimum of 13,200 students will be fully engaged in experiment design, and a minimum of 2,860 flight experiment proposals from student teams will be received.
Thousands more grade preK-12 students are being given the opportunity to participate in SSEP Mission 9 to ISS community-wide programming, which includes the design of Mission Patches to fly aboard ISS. Through community engagement activities, together with microgravity experiment design, a total of 106 schools in 14 States and two Canadian Provinces are taking part in Mission 9 to ISS. In addition, Mission 9 includes four communities in Texas, two in New Jersey, and two in South Carolina.
For 19 of the 21 communities, Mission 9 is made possible in part by a grant from the
Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) to the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education. CASIS is a National Partner on the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program. For 7 of the 21 communities, Mission 9 is made possible in part by a grant from Subaru of America, also a National Partner on SSEP. For 2 of the 21 communities, Mission 9 is made possible in part by a grant from Magellan Aerospace, SSEP’s newest National Partner and the first in Canada.
More generally, Mission 9 to ISS is made possible through the involvement of 60 Local Partner institutions, including school districts, corporate foundations, universities, community foundations, and companies, and which are providing both underwriting and material and human resources. This includes support from 8 NASA Space Grant Consortia at lead universities, including: California Space Grant Consortium at University of California, San Diego; Connecticut Space Grant Consortium at University of Hartford; NASA Idaho Space Grant Consortium at University of Idaho; Maryland Space Grant Consortium at Johns Hopkins University; Massachusetts Space Grant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); New York Space Grant Consortium at Cornell University; Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium at Oregon State University; and Texas Space Grant Consortium at University of Texas at Austin.
The level of partnership is remarkable, and speaks to what a team of partners at the local, state, and national levels can do together in STEM education.
