AIAA and Blue Origin Partner to Launch Experiments
\nDesigned by High School Students into Space<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

January 9, 2020 \u2013 Reston, Va. \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and Blue Origin have partnered to create Design\/Build\/Launch (DBL)<\/a>, a new competition designed to launch experimental payloads to study the effects of short-duration microgravity.<\/p>\n

AIAA and Blue Origin invite high school students to develop creative research proposals in the fields of microgravity science or space technology and pair the experiment with a public outreach plan to share the excitement of space with others. The top proposal will be launched on Blue Origin\u2019s\u00a0New Shepard<\/em>\u00a0rocket and receive a $1,000 grant to prepare and develop the experiment for flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no better way to learn than by doing,\u201d said Dan Dumbacher, AIAA executive director. \u201cThese students have an amazing opportunity to contribute to space research while learning how transformative aerospace can be while gaining the skills that will serve them well throughout their careers!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

AIAA and Blue Origin representatives will judge the submitted proposals on the basis of scientific\/technical merit, outreach creativity, and feasibility. The winning payload is expected to fly on\u00a0New Shepard\u00a0<\/em>in 2021. Postflight, the students will be recognized and have the opportunity to deliver their final report at ASCEND<\/a>, an AIAA event dedicated to the space economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlue Origin is passionate about the future of living and working in space.\u00a0Through payloads on our reusable New Shepard vehicle and our non-profit, Club for the Future<\/a>, we are inspiring students to pursue careers in STEM and inviting them to visualize their own possibilities in space,\u201d said Dr. Erika Wagner, payload sales director for Blue Origin.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
