HISD Student Experiments Make History on SpaceX Dragon
Village News, April 24, 2012
http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/launch.aspx?referral=other&pnum=&refresh=g04H16FqDs71&EID=9c1c43ed-e037-4bd9-afe9-c7c1015d7fd9&skip=true

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.
