When was the last time your students got to participate in experiments being done on the International Space Station (ISS)? How about today? Baylor College of Medicine, in partnership with the National Space Biomedical Research Institute and BioServe Space Technologies, invites you and your students to join in real-time, real-life space research being conducted on ISS right now. Direct participation in actual scientific research is an excellent way to excite students and motivate them to consider careers in space life science and technology. Space Shuttle mission STS-126 (launched November 14, 2008) and mission STS-129 (to be launched November 16, 2009) provide exceptional opportunities for just this kind of student participation in a high-interest life science investigation conducted in space. Click one of the mission patches below to get your class started with its own investigation. NSBRI Sponsored Experiments:  Archive from 2009
