UA Teams Selected for Zero Gravity Flights

July, 2011

Two undergraduate student teams from the University of Arizona will conduct experiments in zero gravity this week as part of NASA's Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program.

Prof. John Pollard is the team's faculty advisor. Materials for the experiment were donated by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Departments of Physics and Atmospheric Sciences.

Chemistry and Biochemistry Senior Alexandria Stanton is a member of The NASA Air Club for Men Team. She was a NASA Space Grant intern this past year in the Hall lab conducting research on polymer chemistry.
