ISS FASTLab provides classrooms with opportunities for ISS research. Students send experiments to the ISS & a crew member executes the experiment!
It truly is a lab partner in space.

@astro_Pettit One of my students said after I showed your photos to one of my classes: “Earth from space is so beautiful, my goal is to take my mom up there one day so we can see it together!” She is nine. Your work is inspiring a whole new generation of space wanders!! Thank you!
@PettitFrontiers @astro_Pettit He has helped my students so much over the past few years! He has been such an inspiration and given them so much encouragement to pursue their dreams of space industry jobs! We are all so excited to watch him and follow all of the new experiments he does !
@astro_Pettit@iss My students were so amazed by this they designed a copy of it for me to try out on a parabolic flight! It failed the first time but with your generous time and help we were able to redesign it and it was successful for the second flight! We can’t wait to see your next mission!
