Learn how trajectory design works in the Earth-Moon system and multi-body gravity fields at OrbitCamp, an asynchronous series of free, online modules designed for participants who have taken an undergraduate orbital mechanics class but have little or no experience with gravitational multi-body dynamics. In addition to the self-guided modules, a series of live virtual events and seminars with experts will bring OrbitCamp participants together. Click here for more information and to register. Virtual Field Trip Workshop – Take Your Learners Anywhere! Audience: Formal and Informal Educators Event Dates: 5-7 p.m. EDT on July 7, 12, 14, and 21 Contact: sina.kirk@asu.edu   Created by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, Infiniscope invites educators to learn how to create virtual field trips that provide student agency, increase equity, and make place-based education accessible to all learners.   Infiniscope’s “Tour It” tool allows users to embed images, videos, and websites into interactive hotspots to deepen understanding and extend learning. Exploring 360-degree environments from anywhere reduces barriers and opens up possibilities.  New Student Q&A Opportunities: NASA’s 'Groundlink' Program 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 members on a simulated journey to Mars' moon Phobos.   NASA’s “Groundlink” program connects students with crew members 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 previous Groundlink episodes.   Do you know a student who has questions for analog crew members? Visit the HERA website for more information, and send your questions to the Groundlink program via email at jsc-askanalogs@mail.nasa.gov.
