NASA STAR – Spaceflight Technology Applications and Research – Is Accepting Applications To Get A Biology Experiment Into Space
Are you a researcher who is curious about how to get a biology experiment into space? The STAR program is currently accepting applications through June 28 for our next cohort of space biology researchers.
This virtual program is for Principal Investigators, senior research scientists, and post-doctoral scholars and aims to facilitate entry to space biology and spaceflight studies using NASA commercial platforms.
Spaceflight Technology, Applications and Research (STAR) is a virtual NASA training for space biosciences training. The annual course targets principal investigators (PIs), senior research scientists, and postdoctoral scholars and aims to facilitate their entry to space biology and preparation for conducting spaceflight experiments using NASA and commercial platforms.
Course curriculum includes fundamental space biology and its practical applications, including technical and logistical considerations, opportunities, and the unique advantages and limitations of conducting an experiment in space. Course participants also have opportunities to interact with PIs with prior mission experience, developers of spaceflight technology and flight providers.
