Important Program Announcement
All:
As you know, the selection of flight teams announcement for the 2009 Flight season was scheduled for Thursday, December 11, 2008. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, associated with costs and funding, the announcement will be delayed. Currently, we are trying to maximize the number of flight teams that will be able to participate in this year’s program. We wish we could give you a more exact date, but at this time, we do not have one. Please continue to monitor your email and the website for updates as soon as we have them.
Please understand that we are working very diligently to get this matter resolved in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program Staff

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.
