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 UCF.\u201d\u2013\u00a0 Stephanie Jarmak, UCF doctoral student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The experiment supports the graduate research of Stephanie Jarmak, a doctoral student in UCF\u2019s physics department. Jarmak watched the launch from the spaceport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing honor to be out here representing the <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/\">Center for Microgravity Research<\/a> and UCF,\u201d Jarmak says. \u201cWe\u2019re feeling pretty nervous, but excited waiting to get access to our payload off the spaceship. 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 UCF\u2019s physics department and a member 色花堂\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, UCF and Space Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Colwell is a member of the UCF Planetary Sciences Group and is the assistant director of the Florida Space Institute. He received his doctorate in astrophysical, planetary and atmospheric sciences from the University of Colorado at Boulder and his bachelor of science in physics from Stetson University.
