Mission 12 of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program at Stockton

Stockton University participated in Mission 12 of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program.  Student teams researched and developed proposals for experiments to be undertaken under microgravity conditions at the International Space Station.  Three finalists were selected from a local scientific panel and were judged at the national scientific review panel of the SSEP held by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education.  The winning experiment was launched to the International Space Station in summer 2018.  Find out more at the SSEP website for Mission 12

Mission Patch Competition

A Mission Patch competition at the K-12 and University level is completed.

Experiment Proposal Phase

Students formed groups and participated with their mentors to develop experiments that could take advantage of the microgravity conditions of the International Space Station to test hypotheses on physical, chemical and biological processes in space. (September 2017-November 2017).  

First and Second Level Scientific Peer Review Process

A review panel of scientists was convened at Stockton to pick the three semi-finalists student proposals that were forwarded to the national Center for Earth and Space Science Education for level 2 scientific panel evaluation.  November/December 2017.

Finalist

The finalist proposal " The Effects of Microgravity on PGMA based Self-Assembly and Impacts on Drug Delivery Systems" was developed by Stockton students  Christina Tallone and Daniel Schneider.  The proposers, joined by additional Stockton student researchers, are refining the experiment for incorporation into the payload of NASA CRS-15 resupply mission to the ISS.

Launch

The Stockton experiment and partner school mission patches will be launched to the International Space Station on a SpaceX Falcon-9/dragon spacecraft with a launch date of June 28, 2018 from Cape Canaveral, FL.  Stockton sent a team to view the launch and educate the public about the experiments program.
