Opportunity to come to ISS International Space Station for free

The University of Central Florida's Solar Exploration Planetary Laboratory (UCF) team won a free space flight to the International Space Station (ISS) in December. two thousand and thirteen.

This group, led by physics professor Joshua Colwell, is one of eight winning experiments in an ISS research competition in Florida. Colwell was a veteran scientist in the field of studying the origins and evolution of the solar system from the early stages of Saturn's evolution to the evolution of Comet and asteroids.

For the UCF experiment, Colwell's team will go straight to ISS to explore collisions in dust disks, a type of material that forms the basis of low-energy planets, to better understand the conditions and The process leads to the formation of building blocks of planets, as well as conducting exploration of planetary rings, such as Saturn rings.

Professor Colwell's group, which is expected to include the assistant doctor Dove Addie, will be taken to ISS by the Space X spacecraft launched by the Falcon 9 missile from the Air Force station in Cape Canaversal in December 2013. This will be a free flight, helping scientists collect data for research.
