Description
Join Julie Hoover, Jimmy Acevedo, and Vi Nguyen from NASA!
The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) is a series of polar-orbiting environmental satellites that collect critical meteorological and climate data. NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS) make NASA missions possible by collecting and sharing data between spacecraft and Earth ground stations. During this workshop, volunteers will tell you about JPSS and TDRS and then you will have an opportunity to build your own JPSS-2 and TDRS paper spacecraft models to take home.
Where: Garland County Library, 1427 Malvern Ave., Hot Springs, AR 71901
