Stockton SSEP Mission 13 (2019 winning project) students, Daniel Stoyko, Matthew Elko and Joseph Romanowski's experiment "Analysis of double stranded break repair in haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae under spaceflight conditions" was unable to be processed due to a human error aboard the ISS. This past month, the students repackage their experiment and it was launched to the ISS aboard SpaceX Dragon this past weekend. At 6:25 a.m. this morning, astronauts onboard the ISS captured the Dragon with the Canadarm. The experiment is expected to return sometime in June.

We are two weeks into our crowdfunding campaign for the Stockton Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). To date, through the Elevate platform and mail-in donations [not reflected on donor wall], we have been able to raise 24% of our goal.  

We want to keep this momentum going! Make Friday the 13th a celebration, not an ‘unlucky’ day. We are aiming to raise $1,250 [or 50% of our goal] by next Friday. Please share the link http://elevate.stockton.edu/spaceflight on social media or forward this email to your personal network asking them to join the others and invest in the innovative programs we are offering here at Stockton.
