Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #31631: Mission Gemini: Empowering Youth in the Space Research Frontier

The Gemini mission under SSEP Mission 13 offered a dynamic educational platform for students to engage with space science. This mission spanned Expeditions 59/60 and 61/62 on the ISS and was spearheaded by NCESSE under the continued leadership of Jeff Goldstein. Gemini invited students to tackle real-world science by proposing and testing hypotheses in the unique setting of microgravity. These investigations have ranged from plant biology to material science, expanding our understanding of how Earth-based phenomena translate to space environments. The experience is transformative, often influencing students’ career paths and nurturing a life-long passion for science. Gemini symbolizes the partnership between space agencies and educational institutions in shaping tomorrow’s explorers.
