The altitude it reached Thursday was more than 270,000 feet. It launched from Mojave Air and Space Port, in Mojave, California.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing honor to be out here representing the Center for Microgravity Research and 麻豆原创.\u201d\u2013\u00a0 Stephanie Jarmak, 麻豆原创 doctoral student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The experiment supports the graduate research of Stephanie Jarmak, a doctoral student in 麻豆原创\u2019s physics department.

This data contributes directly to my Ph.D. thesis, so I have my fingers crossed. I\u2019ve never been this close to a launch before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-principal investigator on the research is Adrienne Dove, an assistant professor in 麻豆原创\u2019s physics department and a member of 麻豆原创\u2019s Planetary Sciences Group. Although she wasn\u2019t able to attend the launch, she followed it on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge success \u2013 two more Americans get their wings for getting to space, and there were NASA-supported payloads aboard,\u201d Dove says. \u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting a really long time for this, so it\u2019s a huge sense of relief that it flew. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing the data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colwell has now had six experiments flown into space, including on space shuttle flights and payloads to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n<p>The research was funded by NASA, 麻豆原创 and Space Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Colwell is a member of the 麻豆原创 Planetary Sciences Group and is the assistant director of the Florida Space Institute.
