Space Research Team Membership
Program Overview
Join a real aerospace project launching in Fall 2026 on a high-altitude research balloon led by experienced researchers and instructors.
This summer, students will learn engineering skills such as 3D modeling, electronics, sensors, and payload design while working as a team to build a real scientific experiment. Participants will design and develop a payload that will fly on a research balloon in partnership with the Maryland Space Grant.
Before flight, students will have the opportunity to present and defend their design to a panel of experts as part of the mission review process.
This program is open to motivated high school students interested in space, engineering, and scientific research.
