The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program

A program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in the U.S., and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education internationally.

SSEP is enabled through a strategic partnership with NanoRacks, LLC, Working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory.

National Partners - USA: Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space), Subaru of America, and Google

National Partner – Canada: Magellan Aerospace

28 SGC Partners: AZ, CA, CT, DE, DC, FL, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MA, MS, NC, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, ND, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA

What is the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program?

Created to Address U.S. Strategic Need:

• high caliber STEM education program for grades 5-16 tuned to next generation national science education standards;

• designed to be a national model for inspiring and engaging the next generation of American scientists and engineers, and addressing science literacy.

Breaking New Ground in Commercial Space:

• we believe SSEP was the first pre-college STEM education program that is both a U.S. national initiative and implemented as an on-orbit commercial space venture.
