Abstract: The Dropping In a Microgravity Environment (DIME) is a high school education program where teams of students design, propose and build an experiment that is conducted in the 2.2 Second Drop Tower at NASA GRC. In order for the students/advisors to get access to the Glenn Research Center, they must fill out NASA form C3070, Education Program Office DIME; and NASA form C3071, Waiver of Compensation/Student Certification DIME. For photos that may be taken, teams must fill out NASA form C3072 Release Form for Appearance in Photographs of Other Image-based Media or Production by or for the NASA Glenn Research Center. In case there is an emergency or accident involving a participant, they must fill out NASA form C3073, Emergency Medical Authorization DIME.
