This summer join Two astronauts for ISSET’s flagship ‘Mission Discovery’ Space & STEM Summer School, 8th - 12th July 2019, hosted at King’s College London

Mission Discovery invites students aged 14 to 18 years old to spend five days working in teams with NASA astronauts Michael Foale and Tony Antonelli, supported by a host of world-renowned professors from King’s College London.

The goal is to design an experiment that could benefit the human race, whether it is on Earth, the Space Station, Mars, the Moon or beyond!

Successful experiments will be performed aboard the International Space Station (ISS). At the end of the programme the best experiment is selected and will be launched to the Space Station and then conducted by the astronauts on board.

Throughout the week students will hear a variety of talks from our experts based on a range of themes including team building, leadership, space, the sciences and personal development. With the help of our brilliant NASA role models students will finish the week by presenting their idea to ISSET’s judging panel, and one experiment will be selected and launched to the ISS on a SpaceX rocket.

Mission Discovery was launched in 2012. Since then we have worked with 13 NASA astronauts, held programmes in four continents for over 6,000 students sending 24 experiments into space on seven different rockets, with more experiments scheduled to launch next year.

Mission Discovery winners have appeared on NASA TV, BBC, ITV and Channel 4, along with numerous press publications internationally. If you’re looking for an exciting challenge which could change your life and build your future, this is it!

The majority of students come on their own and form quick, long-lasting friendships. We welcome big or small group sign-ups also – just let us know!

There is no selection process, giving everyone an equal opportunity to get involved.
