Learn about some current and future robotic spacecraft exploring the solar system, and how you can interact with their photos and data. By Elizabeth Koprucki of the NSDM staff.
Long Description:
From a close approach to the sun to venturing into interstellar space, and many places in between, robotic spacecraft are expanding humanity's knowledge of the solar system. Learn about some current robotic missions, including the Parker Solar Probe, Curiosity Rover, and Juno, and how you can interact with their photos and data. Lecture will also talk about some exciting upcoming missions. Elizabeth Koprucki with the National Security Decision Making Game staff has volunteered as a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador since 2014, presenting robotic spaceflight to her communities.
