Reminders and updates about opportunities
Calling all US middle and high school students - it's time to enter the Space A.G.E. Mission Patch Contest!

The UC San Francisco-based Space Aging Gravity Experiment (aka Space A.G.E.) is launching to the International Space Station to study cellular aging in microgravity, and they need your help to create their mission patch - a unique graphic design to represent the mission. The winning design will not only represent the research mission, but its creator will also be recognized during their livestream coverage of the mission’s launch aboard a SpaceX rocket. Enter by October 15, 2022! (Please note, due to an unforeseen mission launch delay, this is an extension of the original July 31st contest deadline.)

Learn more about the Space A.G.E. mission, the official Mission Patch Contest rules, and how to enter at https://bit.ly/spaceagecontest
