The first 4-H In Space: Mission Command Team of Space Ambassadors attended the Higher Orbits: Go For Launch! science program hosted at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in July 2022. Forty-eight 4-H teens from 4 states — Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Indiana — worked in teams alongside space-industry professionals and astronaut Dr. JR Reilly to design their own experiments.

Experiments aimed to expand human knowledge of life in space, and tackle obstacles to expanding the boundaries of space travel – such as food. Agriculture was a major theme among the dozen experimental designs. The winning experiment “Growing Spirulina in Space” is slated to launch to the International Space Station National Lab in 2023 through the Higher Orbits program. Keep an eye open for launch details to be shared, just keep in mind launches and payloads are impacted by many factors; details are up in the air, until they’re literally in the air.

MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- The Higher Orbits team and featured retired NASA Astronaut Wendy Lawrence will be kicking off the Midland 2023 Series.

This marks the fourth Go for Launch! Midland program within the Midland Independent School District.

This hands-on program of Higher Orbits spotlights the wonders of spaceflight and space exploration to provide students across the country the opportunity to develop and strengthen their skills in STEM, teamwork, communication, research design, and leadership. While focusing on spaceflight, Go for Launch! students will work alongside a featured astronaut at each event to learn and develop important skills that can be applied in any professional field.

MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) -The space flight and space exploration program, Go for Launch, is returning to Midland.

This program explores the wonders of space and strengthens teens stem skills.

It gives kids the chance to learn from retired astronaut Wendy Lawrence to give her experience and expertise with space.

Higher Orbits is a non-profit that teaches stem skills through the use of spaceflight.
