Thursday, Aug. 20, beginning at 1 p.m., the UAA Planetarium & Visualization Theater will host a virtual chat with Bob Floyd, a NASA Engineer working on the Orion spacecraft.
NASA's Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than we've ever gone before-into deep space, including to an asteroid and Mars. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle to carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion will launch on NASA's new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System.
Come learn the latest Orion news at this public discussion with NASA Engineer Bob Floyd. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The UAA Planetarium & Visualization Theater is located in Room 220 of the ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building (3101 Science Circle).
