Narek Baghosian and Florian Storz, members of the Astronomy Club at Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences in Granada Hills, have designed a patch that will be carried on a privately funded flight to the International Space Station. <\/p>\n
The patch was the winning entry in a contest sponsored by the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program, which also selects student-devised research projects to carry into space. <\/p>\n
The Astronomy Club meets Wednesdays, devising scientific experiments that could be conducted during deep-space missions within the future Orion program or future missions to Mars. The club's advisers are teachers Angel Ireys, Doug Pischell and James Emley. <\/p>\n
The SSEP is a partnership between the National Center for Earth and Science Science Education and NanoRacks LLC. <\/p>\n
