General Program Briefing Dr. Jeff Goldstein

The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) is a high-caliber STEM education program designed to inspire and engage grades 5-16 students in microgravity experiment design. Implemented as an on-orbit commercial space venture, SSEP is breaking new ground in commercial space. With over 800 local partners, 181 community programs, and 113 experiments flown since its inception in 2010, SSEP is a national model in science education.

  1. General Program Briefing Dr. Jeff Goldstein Center Director, National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (USA) http://ncesse.org Institute Director, Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education (International) http://clarkeinstitute.org (rev 3/1/16 for Mission 10 to ISS)

  2. National Center for Earth and Space Science Education National Center for Earth and Space Science Education Inspire…then Educate The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) 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. SSEP is enabled through a strategic partnership with NanoRacks, LLC, working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory. SSEP is enabled though National Partnerships with: the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space) , Subaru of America, and Magellan Aerospace.

  3. National Center for Earth and Space Science Education National Center for Earth and Space Science Education Inspire…then Educate What is the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program? • Created to Address U.S. Strategic Need: • high caliber STEM education program for • grades 5-16 tuned to next generation national • science education standards; • designed to be a national model for inspiring and engaging the next generation of American and Canadian scientists and engineers, and • addressing science literacy. • Breaking New Ground in Commercial Space: • 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.
