1 Team-up with NASA astronauts Launch your school into history and be amongst the first Indian students to send their experiments into space isset.org

2 It was great to learn from such inspirational astronauts and experts through Mission Discovery, I had a fantastic time. - Emily Yeomans, Mission Discovery Student shikha@youngedsplorer.com

3 YOUR MISSION. y Spend your week learning from astronauts, world renowned scientists and NASA leaders! y Take on the role of a research scientist and work as a team on a biomedical project. Your mission is to create an experiment which will be carried out in space. y The winning experiment will be built, launched to the International Space Station (ISS), and carried out in space by astronauts aboard the ISS. y Sign-up for first Indian Mission Discovery programme and join the forefront of human space exploration. shikha@youngedsplorer.com

4 THE DESTINATION FOR YOUR EXPERIMENT ISSET will have sent 17 experiments to the ISS by This includes work on Genetics, Alzheimer s disease and Parkinson s disease. The image on the left shows astronaut Koichi Wakata, discussing one of the Mission Discovery experiments on Channel 4 s A Week in Space programme. y Astronaut Koichi Wakata performing a Mission Discovery experiment aboard the ISS. Footage can be found on our YouTube channel: Youtube.com/IntSpaceSchool The Space Station is the final frontier of biomedical research. - Forbes Magazine shikha@youngedsplorer.com

5 One of Mission Discovery s winning experiments investigated whether slime mould would grow in 3D, in the microgravity of space. Slime mould has amazing memory capacity and is used to solve complex mapping problems. The results revealed that slime mould grows more vigorously in space compared to on Earth. y The official space patch for our first winning students experiments aboard Cygnus CRS Orb-1. Another winning experiment investigated the effectiveness of antibiotics in space. The results demonstrated that antibiotics are more effective in microgravity compared to on Earth. shikha@youngedsplorer.com

6 INSPIRING Personal Objectives: Learn how to... y Work successfully in a team y Plan the execution of a project y Achieve a goal y Follow efficiently and lead effectively y Deliver a persuasive presentation y Confidently speak in public Mission Discovery focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths... The future of STEM starts with you! shikha@youngedsplorer.com

7 S.T.E.M. Mission Discovery experiments receive national media coverage, and our students have appeared on both BBC Breakfast and ITV programmes. People like me don t win things like this. - Mahdi Baksh, on BBC Breakfast talking about her winning experiments launch shikha@youngedsplorer.com

8 MISSION EACH DAY The Mission Discovery team will dine and socialise with students for lunch. Personal certificates/prizes will be awarded daily.
