Horseshoe Bend School eighth grader Ava Butler submitted an art piece so out of this world it gets to go to space.
Butler participated in the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program’s mission 20 art contest. Central Alabama Community College was selected for SSEP’s mission 20 that will launch in April 2026 to the International Space Station and back. Accompanying CACC’s experiment for the mission will be Butler’s artwork embroidered on the astronauts’ suits.
