Our Mission & Vision

Data Evaluation from Testing via an Educational Challenge with Teachers and Students (DETECTS) is a two-semester outreach project that provides the opportunity for high school students to design and test a scientific experiment to be accommodated on a payload heading to the International Space Station (ISS). Students will learn about programming, the engineering design process, and requirements verification. DETECTS teams compete for selection by the mission sponsor. 

DETECTS is a STEM outreach program based at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).
