United States Rocket Academy
The United States Rocket Academy is a non-profit educational organization that studies and promotes the use human spaceflight for scientific, military, and commercial purposes.
Do you have the Right Stuff to be a citizen scientist or citizen astronaut? Citizens in Space has acquired 10 flights on the XCOR Lynx spacecraft. This is your chance to fly.
What inspired you to make this project?:
The Lynx Cub Payload Carrier was developed to enable citizen scientists and professional researchers to fly space-science experiments at very low cost, with greater flexibility than current platforms. We believe that everyone has the right stuff: space-science and spaceflight opportunities should be available to everyone. As a result, we have designed hardware that can be used by everyone from high-school students to PhDs.
