What happens in the different layers of the atmosphere? In this program, offering challenging science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education inspired by space exploration and citizen science, you will learn the physics of how weather balloons rise and collect data as you explore the troposphere and stratosphere. You will design and build scientific payloads, collecting real data for analysis. This program includes interactive, project based learning including flight predictions, payload design, high-altitude experiment design, collaborative teaming and global awareness development. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-28c2d38\" data-id=\"28c2d38\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-075a6a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"075a6a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/program-spaceu-missioncontrol-1024x560.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-70880\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/program-spaceu-missioncontrol-1024x560.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/program-spaceu-missioncontrol-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/program-spaceu-missioncontrol-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/program-spaceu-missioncontrol.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bf952c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bf952c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mission Control Space U<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15baecc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15baecc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt takes more than just astronauts to complete a mission.
