Satellite imagery: Where science and art connect
Satellite imagery is a powerful tool for scientists that monitor the dynamic features upon Earth’s surface. With a vantage point from space, large swaths of landscape can be viewed in a single snapshot. Depending on the sensors used to capture the image, these scientific tools may also serve as beautiful works of art.
NASA workshop: Aug. 25
Come meet representatives from Johnson Space Center, Jet Propulsion Lab, and Ames Research Center. Explore possible collaborations in research and education.
Make yourself more competitive in proposing to Alaska Space Grant and Alaska NASA EPSCoR Research Initiation Solicitations.
This is the ideal venue to make connections and sell your research ideas. Come find out how your discipline connects, NASA’s interests are very broad.
