🍁 Fall is here and so is asteroid science πŸš€

Join NASA for these two upcoming asteroid events 

EDUCATION UPDATES | SEPTEMBER 2023

It's the perfect time to explore asteroid science with us

Upcoming Asteroid Mission Events

The start of fall comes with two excellent opportunities to explore asteroid science and the engineering behind some of NASA's most exciting missions. First, follow along as the OSIRIS-REx mission returns samples collected from the surface of an asteroid. Then, stick around the week after for the launch of NASA's Psyche mission to visit an asteroid that may be the remnant of a small planet's core.

Both events offer opportunities to engage students in STEM, and we've got plenty of resources including Teachable Moments, expert talks, projects, and lessons to get you started.
