The very busy summer schedule continues for the Dream Flight USA student space shuttle, the Spirit of Education, and its crews. Having participated in three parades and three summer school sessions, the shuttle is being prepared for a week-long mission to the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. AirVenture takes place July 27-August 2.
So far this summer, the shuttle has appeared in the Stratford Founder’s Day Parade, the Edgar Fire Department Parade, and the 4th of July Parade in Winter, all located in Wisconsin.
In addition, the shuttle was docked on the campus of the University of Wisconsin Marathon County for the week-long College for Kids, four days at the Tomahawk School Complex, and four days in the Wausau, WI school district, all summer school programs.
The busy summer season isn’t over for the shuttle. We’ll be at the 40th anniversary celebration of the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, WI on August 15, the Tomahawk Air Show on August 16, and on September 7, the Spirit of Education will be in the Wausau, WI Labor Day Parade. On September 12, we go to the Merrill Airport Day celebration in Merrill, WI.
August 6th will find the shuttle back at school, this time as part of a presentation on space by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium at the University School in Milwaukee, WI. The session is titled: Traveling in Space Simplified-part one.
