International Space Station Rideshare

Partnering with Princeton University, Voyager, and NASA, MaxIQ Space annually launches and hosts twenty student xChip payloads on the ISS for 4 to 6 weeks. A downlink of data will be available, and the payloads will be returned on completion of the mission.This opportunity is being made available by Voyager through its Space Act Agreement with NASA's U.S. National Lab. The project begins early in the calendar year (January), with the launch to the ISS in October that year. All payload designs should be finalised by end April to be shipped to MaxIQ Space in May. This project includes: Space STEM program - MaxIQ Space delivers a full Space STEM program in middle/ high schools, and more information may be found on this page.  NASA HAB - Prior to launch to the ISS, all payloads are tested on the NASA High Altitude Balloon mission, all details can be found here. Kits - We encourage groups to collaborate in the design of the payload, therefore, we will ship the Space STEM kits to accommodate
