The San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) is preparing to host its 7th Annual Space Day celebration. Space Day is a great family event, and will feature demonstrations, give-aways, and hands-on activities with local and national space experts. The San Diego Space Society and Mars Society will be in attendance as some of the local experts. In addition to SD Space, other presenter’s invited this year include: NASA, SDAA (San Diego Astronomy Association), DSN (the Deep Space Network), JPL, SETI, UCSD EarthKAM, The Planetary Society, Lockheed Martin, Virgin Galactic, InterPlanetary Adventures, The Astronaut Teacher Alliance, Team Synergy Moon, and many others.
As a bonus, local astronaut Jim Newman, whose ambitious spacewalks from the space shuttle helped repair the Hubble Space Telescope, is planning to attend and share stories of his dynamic space career.
As an extra bonus, the museum’s space gallery is open for viewing throughout the event, which includes a flown Apollo spacecraft, moon rocks and space suits.
