NASA has selected research from a University of Central Florida planetary scientist to fly on upcoming zero-gravity flights as part of the space agency/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115082/u2019s Flight Opportunities funding program./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115082/n

The research project is led by Adrienne Dove, an assistant professor in UCF/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115082/u2019s Department of Physics, and explores regolith behavior at zero and low gravity./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115082/n

Regolith is loose, unconsolidated dirt and rocks and can be found on the surface of the moon, asteroids or other objects in space./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115082/n

NASA announced the funding selections this month, and Dove will receive $440,000 for the 18-month project./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115082/n
