About the Program

(FAQs, Flight Video, Generic Flight Week Schedule, Overview, Whom to Contact)

The Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program provides a unique academic experience for undergraduate students to successfully propose, design, fabricate, fly and evaluate a reduced gravity experiment of their choice.

Creating a Proposal

(Application Checklist, Forming a Team, How to Apply, Participation Criteria, Proposal Advice, Proposal Evaluation, Proposal Guidelines, Reasons for Disqualification, Types of Proposals)

Generating an idea for a microgravity experiment is the first stage in competing for a program “slot.” The idea for a reduced gravity experiment is developed by a team of undergraduate students - either as part of a class project or as independent research.
