Our guest speaker, Dr. Jacob Cohen, Chief Engineer, NASA Ames, shared space travel, including NASA’s plans for a manned mission to Mars, and microgravity experimentation as we start our Student Spaceflight Experiments Project (SSEP). His visit was published on the front page of the Antelope Valley Press on Friday, February 19, and announced here. “This is not your basic science project,” said Kathleen Fredette, director of STEAM Initiatives for iLEAD Schools. “One of our student experiments will be chosen to fly with SpaceX up to the International Space Station, where an astronaut will perform the experiment.”
