Sessions will be recorded and available online through Nov. 26. | | Set to launch no earlier than Nov. 24, NASA’s DART mission is the first-ever test to change the motion of an asteroid in space. Researchers are investigating whether we could use this technique if an asteroid were ever discovered to be a threat to Earth. DART’s asteroid target is not a threat to Earth. | | Do you know how many asteroids have been identified in our solar system? Click here to find out. Then learn how to tell the difference between asteroids, comets, meteors, meteorites and other bodies in our solar system. | | What’s it like to go on a mission into deep space without leaving Earth? Students anywhere around the world can now directly ask questions to crew who are simulating a journey to Mars. NASA’s new “Groundlinks” program connects students with crewmembers currently inside NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA, a habitat housed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Through the crew’s answers, students can learn more about how NASA prepares humans to live and work in space. Click here to watch the first Groundlinks episode, featuring HERA crew members Christopher Roberts and Madelyne Willis. | | | | This week’s episode of Build to Launch marks the end of the series with a look back at this 10-week learning adventure.
Check out some of the creative student solutions for the last two missions. Plus, we'll hear from some old friends at NASA, and maybe even a few new ones. Did you miss an episode?

“NASA STEM Stars” is a webchat series that connects students with subject matter experts to learn about STEM careers and ask questions about STEM topics. In two weeks, Mechanisms Design Engineer Anne Richards will chat about her work on the Space Launch System’s Crew Access Arm. Learn about her STEM journey to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Find out what STEM skills it takes to design the systems needed to get Artemis astronauts into the Orion capsule high atop the SLS rocket. Watch the live event and ask your questions about pursuing careers in STEM. | | Opportunities With Our Partners | | Audience: Educators, Parents, and Caregivers of Students in Grades K-5 When NASA’s Artemis I flight test of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft launches in early 2022, Snoopy will be onboard with the important job of being a zero gravity indicator. To celebrate his exciting return to space, NASA has teamed up with Peanuts Worldwide to inspire excitement for the launch. Bring the mission to young learners with STEM activities about Artemis I and his zero gravity mission. Activities are designed to work for classroom or at-home learning. | | Audience: Grades K-12 Educators, Parents and Students During Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 6-10), join Tynker at 1 p.m. EST for daily CodeLab Live sessions featuring NASA subject matter experts. Get up to speed on Tynker’s space-themed “NASA’s Return to the Moon” coding adventures and learn about the NASA Artemis missions that will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface. Teachers can join live to have Tynker run the Hour of Code for you.
