Tony Antonelli, retired NASA astronaut, at The International Space School Educational Trust's Mission Discovery Program, Kings College, London
ISSET’s Mission Discovery Summer School programme is a great opportunity for ordinary students to do something extraordinary. UK and international students from ages 13/14 - 18 (UK Year Groups 9 - 13) get to work with NASA Astronauts, rocket scientists and NASA personnel for a week. In teams, students will propose an idea for their own science experiment; the best idea will be launched into space and carried out by Astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
