NES/Reduced Gravity Opportunity
If you are or ever have been a NASA Explorer School, this applies to you. Those of you who have looked at my profile know that I was lucky enough to fly on the reduced gravity jet in 2007. The whole process was an experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Definitely worth the blood, sweat and tears.
Here is more info:
2009 NES Reduced Gravity Flight Opportunity - Application Available Application Deadline: Aug. 13, 2008 NASA Explorer Schools and the Reduced Gravity Flight Office at Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, announce this year’s opportunity for NES students and NES educators (current and alumni) to design and build a reduced gravity investigation. Three educators and an alternate will travel to Johnson Space Center to fly it on NASA’s Reduced Gravity C-9. The NES Reduced Gravity Flight Opportunity provides a unique experience for NES students and teachers to propose, design, fabricate, fly and evaluate a reduced gravity investigation of their choice over the course of approximately four months. The experience includes scientific research, hands-on investigational design, test operations and educational/public outreach activities. For more information and the application, visit http://microgravityuniversity.jsc.nasa.gov/nes/ Here is some of the footage from my flight.
