NS-23 to Fly 36 Payloads and Tens of Thousands of Club for the Future Postcards to Space
On August 31, New Shepard’s 23rd mission, a dedicated payloads flight, will fly 36 payloads from academia, research institutions, and students across the globe.
Twenty-four payloads are from K-12 schools, universities, and STEM-focused organizations, including NeoCity Academy in the Osceola School District. Other include John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, and the University of Florida.
NeoCity Academy: WoS (Wings of Steel)
A group of six high school students from NeoCity Academy in Kissimmee, Florida, is sending a three-minute experiment into microgravity to test the effects of gravity on ultrasonic sound waves. Investigating ultrasonic sound waves and their behavior in space could lead to further future discoveries about other types of waves.
We are certainly proud of our NeoCity Academy students!
