Rocket launch from the Black Rock desert, Nevada.

A new opportunity has been posted on the UKSA website requiring two A-Level students to participate in a research trip to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, USA.  The trip is run by NASA researchers and you’ll spend 12 days at the Ames Research Centre in Mountain View, California which includes a trip into the desert to launch a microbiology experiment mounted to a particularly impressive rocket.

The scheme is sponsored by NESTA, see the UKSA website for more details.  Good luck!
