What’s new in Suborbital Space
Arete STEM Foundation
Arete STEM was recently named a channel partner for Blue Origin’s New Shepard program, which gives us unique opportunities to help take student projects above the Karman Line (100 km) more efficiently than ever
Blue Origin updates
october 2020 - 13th Mission
Launch site: Blue Origin West Texas Suborbital Launch Site Destination: Suborbital flight and self-landing. This was the 13th New Shepard mission.
Arete STEM Foundation awarded NASA funding to help SIX schools send student designed experiments to SPACE
Arete STEM will be working with Imec USA (NeoCity Academy) and Purdue University to make student dreams of spaceflight come true.

NASA Updates
NEW: NASA Flight Opportunities
NASA has selected 31 promising space technologies for testing aboard parabolic aircraft, high-altitude balloons, and suborbital rocket-powered systems. By exposing the innovations to many of the rigors and characteristics of spaceflight – without the expense of an orbital flight – NASA can help ensure these technologies work correctly when they are deployed on future missions.
“By supporting suborbital flight testing, our Flight Opportunities program aims to help ensure that these innovations are well-positioned to address challenges and enable NASA to achieve its lunar ambitions, while also contributing to a growing and vibrant commercial space industry,” said Jim Reuter, associate administrator of NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). The Flight Opportunities program is part of STMD.
NASA Education:
In NASA STEM Engagement, we deliver tools for young Americans and educators to learn and succeed. We seek to:
Create unique opportunities for students and the public to contribute to NASA’s work in exploration and discovery.
Build a diverse future STEM workforce by engaging students in authentic learning experiences with NASA people, content, and facilities.
Strengthen public understanding by enabling powerful connections to NASA’s mission and work.
To achieve these goals, NASA STEM Engagement strives to increase K-12 involvement in NASA projects, enhance higher education, support underrepresented communities, strengthen online education, and boost NASA's contribution to informal education. The intended outcome is a generation prepared to code, calculate, design, and discover its way to a new era of American innovation.
NASA NSPIRES - Solicitations (Funding)
Supporting research in science and technology is an important part of NASA's overall mission. NASA solicits this research through the release of various research announcements in a wide range of science and technology disciplines. NASA uses a peer review process to evaluate and select research proposals submitted in response to these research announcements. Researchers can help NASA achieve national research objectives by submitting research proposals and conducting awarded research
NASA Express - STEM
The NASA EXPRESS message features updates from NASA and STEM associates about workshops, internships, and fellowships; applications for grants or collaborations; promotions for student and educator opportunities; online professional development; and other announcements
