Free webinar for K-12 educators

Summary: Join us in this session as we discuss how NASA is selecting the Artemis mission landing sites and the technologies that will allow astronauts to land safely. Explore previous mission landings, including the recent placement of NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars, to get a feel for the complexities involved in landing on the surface of a body with little or no atmosphere. The hands-on activity highlighted in this session will simulate designing, building, and testing a model lunar lander. The activity has students include downward thrust to slow the decent of the vehicle and asks them to graph the elevation and speed of the lander.
