Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #31630: Falcon in Flight: Inspiring Young Researchers through Microgravity Science

Falcon, the third mission of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP), took student-designed experiments to the International Space Station during Expeditions 37/38. Named after the sleek, fast, and intelligent bird, the mission reflects the attributes encouraged in young scientists: agility in thought, speed in innovation, and precision in execution. Through the collaboration of NCESSE and NASA, students conducted authentic research involving fluid dynamics, biological growth, or chemical interactions in zero gravity. The impact of Falcon extends far beyond science—it empowers communities, schools, and students to envision their roles in the global scientific ecosystem. This mission reinforced how accessible and exciting space research can be when made a part of student education.
