UAA Planetarium is hosting a launch party for the Orion Spacecraft December 4 from 5:30-8 p.m. NASA’s new spacecraft is built to send humans farther than ever before.
A viewing of the launch will begin the event. As the capsule is orbiting around the planet, there will be hands-on activities, giveaways and a live Skype Q&A period with one of the engineers, Nick Wellner, straight from NASA Johnson Space Center!
The event will end with a viewing of the splashdown of Orion in the Pacific Ocean and the retrieval of the capsule by the US Navy ship, the SS Anchorage.
