East Ayrshire Council reports that one of their pupils has secured a much-coveted place on a trip to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, with the Scottish Space School. A total of ten Scottish pupils will be given a rare opportunity to meet with many of the astronauts, engineers and scientists working on the space programme. They were selected from 100 talented pupils from all over Scotland who attended the Scottish Space School at Strathclyde University in June this year, following a rigorous selection process over the summer.
