Anyone Can Apply For A Chance To Take A Suborbital Flight
In support of its mission to broaden public awareness of the
benefits of space exploration, the Aerospace Research &
Engineering Systems Institute, Inc. is giving the public the
opportunity to take the ride of a lifetime to the edge of space.
This event is designed to give the opportunity for a member of the
public to fly aboard a commercial spacecraft who otherwise wouldn't
have the opportunity by raising funds to cover the cost of the
flight.
Members of the public are invited to apply for this exciting
opportunity to fly to the edge of space. ARES Institute is
accepting applications from through our website through December
31, 2012. At the conclusion of the registration period, one person
who registered prior to December 31, 2012 will be provided the
opportunity to assist in conducting scientific research on a
suborbital spaceflight.
Specifically, the person chosen to fly in space will accompany
our own investigators on a suborbital spaceflight during which
selected scientific experiments will be conducted. The participant
will not only fly to the edge of space and experience
weightlessness, but will also assist scientists and researchers
with hands-on experiments in support of the Spacecoast Plasma &
High-energy Electrostatics Laboratory, a state of the art fusion
research facility currently in development.
ARES Institute is engaged in innovative programs to stimulate
interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
education among secondary and college-level students. The
organization's mission also includes public outreach activities to
raise public awareness and support of space exploration.
Specifically, ARES Institute is working to establish a hands-on
space-oriented engineering program to give students the opportunity
to work with real rockets and scientific payloads, stimulating
their interest in related fields while providing valuable skills
training for the aerospace workforce of the future.
