Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) has secured the opportunity to send a 2U (10cm x 10cm x 20cm) size payload onboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard capsule in the fall of 2017 to conduct a science research experiment. ERAU’s students will be working to design and test a NanoLab payload capable of withstanding the forces of a suborbital space launch. This NanoLab will be recording data through various phases of the 11-minutes suborbital flight. This is a research collaboration between two research teams at ERAU, as well as students and faculty from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The two research teams from Embry-Riddle consist of an operations and testing team and an engineering team who will work together to develop and safe operations of the suborbital payload.
