Living and Working in Space!

Explore the intricacies of Living and Working in Space at our October event! High school students will tackle the human challenges of spaceflight by designing orbital habitats and investigating space-based agriculture with Space Sprouts. Middle schoolers will experience astronaut testing with Functional Task Tests and take on an End Effector Challenge using VEX Rovers. Join us to discover the cutting-edge science and engineering that makes long-duration space missions possible, and hear firsthand from an astronaut about their experiences in this extraordinary environment!
