Murrumba District Schools have been chosen to become the first Australian schools to send small experiments in a Space Shuttle flight into space!
In February 2001 a inquiry was received from Washington University,
USA regarding the possible interest by Australian schools to take part in the
ARIA-3 program of sending small space experiment modules (SEM's) along in a shuttle
mission later in the year. The real challenge was that schools had only days to
respond and plan for what experiments they would conduct, under very tight limitations! Due to the
timing and need for local support, schools selected were
confined to the south-east corner of Queensland. Here is where you can read
about what has happened, see how the process unfolded and study the
results!
