LCA Junior Nathan Scalf Selected for NASA-Backed Research Flight (April 16, 2025)
LCA is proud to announce that junior Nathan Scalf has been selected for a nationally competitive opportunity to conduct microgravity research aboard the ZERO-G “G-Force One” aircraft, as part of a prestigious collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Space Research, NASA’s SEES (STEM Enhancement in Earth and Space Science) Program, and the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. Scalf is one of only four high school students selected nationwide for the rare opportunity to fly and conduct scientific experiments in zero gravity. His project, “Wound Irrigation System for Microgravity,” focuses on solutions for medical treatment in space and will be tested during a series of parabolic flights this May.
