Summit High Schooler Goes to Space Camp | |

When you start flying a plane before you can drive a car, it only seems natural that you would set your sights on the stars. Last week, Summit junior, Maren B., spent a week at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama at the Advanced Space Academy Program. Maren learned about current and future space endeavors, spent time spinning in the multi-axis trainer, and served as Commander of a mock space shuttle mission to fix a satellite.
Read more about Maren's experience at the Advanced Space Academy in next week's Raven Report.
