UCF Students Prepare to Launch Experiment into Space

UCF's Associate Professor Joshua Colwell was one of three scientists selected nationally to fly aboard Blue Origin’s space vehicle New Shepard. He has selected UCF undergraduates as well as two graduates  to work within the project, building a machine that they hope will ultimately lead to informing us how planets are formed. Their machine will fly into space and a series of four tests will be done. After the flight the experiment returns these students will review the tapes and conclude data of their findings. 


Stay tuned for a full story I am covering on this very topic. If you can't wait however, view some of the links I have provided below!
