Science on Site: Mars InSight Mission Roadshow
NASA's InSight mission will be the first interplanetary launch from the West Coast, set for May 5 from Vandenberg Airforce Base. In preparation for its May launch, the Mars InSight Roadshow is bringing family-friendly science activities to communities throughout California, making comparisons between earthquakes and the marsquakes that InSight will try to detect. Stop by the Space Lab for the following activities:
• "Make Your Own Marsquake" demo, in which members of the public jump and see seismometer readings on a screen
• Chat with NASA scientists and engineers
• Take space selfies
• View models of the InSight spacecraft
• Explore Mars globe "cutaways" showing the interior of Mars
FREE with paid Museum admission.
