Earthwatch is a non profit environmental organization focused on connecting everyday people with the world's top scientists to conduct vital field research.
It is mounted on the External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. HDEV includes four fixed cameras positioned to capture imagery of the Earth’s surface and its limb as seen from the ISS – one camera pointing in the direction the station is moving, two cameras aft (wake), and one camera pointing straight down at Earth (nadir). While the experiment is operational, views will typically sequence though the different cameras. Between camera switches, a gray and then black color slate will briefly appear. To learn more about the HDEV experiment, visitthis NASA webpage.
You may not know this, but the International Space Station is the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon, and has been flying over your head in plain sight (and likely unnoticed) for many years. NASA’s Spot the Station website has been allowing the general public to determine when Station will be flying overhead, and even allows you to sign up for email notification in advance of a Station over- flight of your community. In late 2. 01. 5, the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education suggested to NASA Headquarters that a Spot the Station widget, which could be easily embedded on any website, would be a wonderful way to extend ISS public awareness. The widget below was the result, and you’ll note that it is also found in the right column on all main pages of this SSEP website. You are invited to use the widget to explore Station over- flights of your community, and even embed this widget on your website by clicking on the “About” button in the widget.

A careful read of this home page will provide an Executive Summary of the Program. The rest of this website provides a deeper understanding of program pedagogy and operations; guidance for how a community can come aboard; and resources to conduct the program. The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) was launched in June 2.
National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in strategic partnership with Nano. Racks, LLC. Designed as a model U. S. national Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education initiative, the program gives typically 3.

SSEP is about immersing and engaging students and their teachers in every facet of real science—on the high frontier—so that students are given the chance to be scientists—and experience science firsthand. More broadly, SSEP is about a commitment to student ownership in exploration, to science as journey, and to the joys of learning. Of special note – SSEP is garnering significant media coverage at local, regional, and national levels. School districts are powerfully leveraging media exposure for their participation in this high caliber STEM initiative, and at a time when STEM education is of national strategic importance, and is becoming a core element of the curriculum at the local level (see the SSEP in the News pages, and e.
Scientific American feature article). Important note: SSEP is not designed for an individual class or a small number of students in a community. Implementing SSEP for an appropriate- sized student audience is straightforward, and implementation plans for a large number of participating communities are available for review. Program Overview. Each community participating in SSEP is provided a very real research asset – a flight certified, straightforward to use microgravity research mini- laboratory, and guaranteed launch services to transport the mini- laboratory to the International Space Station (ISS). It is a precious and limited research asset given that the mini- laboratory can only contain a single student team designed microgravity experiment.
An astronaut aboard ISS will conduct the experiment, and after a typical 4 to 6 week stay in orbit, the experiment will be returned safely to Earth for harvesting and analysis by the community’s student flight team. Watch Autopsy Putlocker#. Mirroring how professional researchers formally compete to obtain limited research assets, the participating community carries out a “call for proposals”.
More specifically, the community conducts a local Flight Experiment Design Competition, engaging hundreds of students in teams of typically 3- 5, with each team vying for the community’s single experiment slot by proposing a microgravity research program that can be carried out in the mini- laboratory. The competition is conducted through formal submission of real (but grade level appropriate) research proposals by the student teams – as is standard practice for professional researchers. A minimum of 5. 0- 8.
Each community’s flight experiment is selected through a formal 2- step proposal review process. The final selection is carried out by the SSEP National Step 2 Review Board, which meets at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. The flight experiment then undergoes a 4- month NASA flight safety review at Johnson Space Center, laboratory refinement by the student flight team, handover to Nano.
Racks in Houston for integration into the experiment payload, and payload integration into the ferry vehicle for flight to ISS. SSEP experiment payloads launch from either Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on a Space. X Dragon spacecraft, or from the Mid- Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS), Wallops Island, Virginia, on an Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft. SSEP is not a simulation – this is very real spaceflight. This is very real student immersion in space science research, and a remarkable opportunity for a community.
Stated more powerfully —SSEP provides each community its own – very real – Space Program. An annual SSEP National Conference held at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, immerses delegations of students in a real research conference where they formally present to their peers on experiment design and science results (explore the 2.
Conference page, and video clips of presentations archived on the Scientific Return and Reporting pages, see e. Mission 8 to ISS Scientific Return and Reporting and Mission 9 to ISS Scientific Return and Reporting). A suite of SSEP program elements—the Community Program—leverages the flight experiment design competition to engage the entire community, embracing a Learning Community Model for STEM education. One element is a Mission Patch art and design competition allowing hundreds of students across the community (down to grade K) to capture through art and design their community’s SSEP experience.
