Microgravity University

Microgravity University, also known as the Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program (RGSFOP), was a program run by NASA which enables undergraduate university students to perform microgravity experiments aboard NASA's reduced-gravity aircraft at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Acceptance into the program requires a team of four fliers (and any number of ground crew) and was done through the writing and submission (during late Fall) of a technical proposal which details among other things what the experiment was about, safety considerations, and outreach plans.
