LUNAR NAUTICS Jun 10–14 9:00am–12:00pm Gr. 5–8* $125
Ever wondered what it takes to pull off a successful lunar mission? Come spend the week working at Lunar Nautics Space Systems, Inc., a fictional aerospace company specializing in mission management, lunar habitat and exploration design, and scientific research. Students will work within a budget to design a lunar habitat, select scientific instruments necessary for survival, build a model of a Lunar Lander, prepare a presentation to obtain potential “NASA” funding for their project, and participate in a simulated space mission all while engaging in fun, hands on experiments that model the science that goes into real mission design!
