The ASA STARS Program
The Amateur Spaceflight Association is embarking on an
exciting educational program for selected High School and University
students. This program is designed
to promote Math and Science education by funding student teams to build microgravity
experiments that will actually fly in space. Funded by Foundations and Corporate
donations, the pilot ASA STARS Program will provide students from Houston
area High Schools with the means and engineering assistance necessary to
build a microgravity experiment.
These experiments, along with those developed by Universities will
be flown on-board an ASA launch vehicle beyond the edge of space,
experiencing several minutes of microgravity. The rocket and experiments will be
recovered for data collection and returned to the schools.
This program is being developed now, and will be
started in the Fall of 2003.
