The Space Fizix Demonstrator Video--effects of freefall on fire, water, and magnets

This is our first production of several we plan to produce in support of our educational goals. HSP has the unique opportunity to participate in the launch of the Senatobia-1, which will record the Space Shuttle Endeavour's final voyage to space. The Senatobia-1 is a near-space vehicle that is made of a large helium balloon, a parachute system, and a payload container equipped with about 5 high-definition video cameras. The purpose of the Senatobia is to capture the majority of the Space Shuttle's climb into space, and then take breathtaking footage of our blue planet.

HSP would like to thank the Quest for Stars non-profit organization, the Coalition for Space Exploration, and the Challenger Center for allowing us to participate in their event. For more information on the Senatobia-1 launch, visit the Quest for Stars website.
