Pre-registration is required and clock hours are available. The Space Experiment Module Team needs your passive experiment ideas for a 2001 flight opportunity. SEM experiments focus on questions such as whether a crystal grows the same in space as it does on earth, or whether heat transfers differently in zero gravity. SEM-09 is tentatively scheduled for June 2001 and proposals must be submitted by Sept. 1. Previous participants include elementary schools.
