  Northrop Grumman - Northrop Grumman Foundation's Weightless Flights of Discovery
The Northrop Grumman Foundation Weightless Flights of Discovery program is designed to inspire students to pursue science and technical careers by inspiring their teachers first.
In support of that educational call to action, Northrop Grumman, the nation’s third largest defense contractor, launched the 2006 Weightless Flights of Discovery program, a unique, nationwide teacher professional development program designed to inspire today’s students to pursue degrees in scientific and technical fields.
By focusing the Weightless Flights program on teachers rather than students, Northrop Grumman was able to achieve maximum “reach” for the lessons of its microgravity “high school,” delivering inspiration to an estimated 10,000 elementary, middle school and high school students in the first year alone.
