THIS EVENT IS FILLED TO CAPACITY
INSTEAD OF BRINGING THE COMPANY TO CAMPUS, WE’RE TAKING YOU TO THE COMPANY!
Join us for this full day of access to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center facility located in Greenbelt, MD. The agenda will include tours of engineering labs, the largest clean room in the world, and the Earth Sciences Center. We will experience the Science on the Sphere demonstration and have the opportunity to speak with engineers and leadership at the Center.
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, plays a pivotal role across all aspects of the agency’s missions, from development to de-orbit.
More than 50 Goddard spacecraft explore Earth and soar through the solar system, collecting observations to be parsed and studied by scientists around the world. Goddard’s missions support multiple scientific disciplines, including Earth science, solar science, and the Sun-Earth environment, planetary studies and astrophysics.
Goddard is the operational home of the venerable Hubble Space Telescope. Goddard studies the tenuous atmosphere of Mars with MAVENand the Red Planet’s surface with instruments aboard the Curiosity rover. Goddard surveys the moon with LRO and watches our sun with the Solar Dynamics Observatory. GPM, Landsat and a host of other satellites monitor Earth and our changing climate.
