Travel Tuesday - Out of this World

In November of 2011, NASA launched a rocket carrying the rover named Curiosity. Curiosity traveled 352 million miles over more than 8 months before it was lowered onto the surface of Mars. You can travel the surface of Mars with Curiosity and learn more about the current state of the mission from NASA.

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP) plays an important role in the agency’s deep space exploration goals as it works with commercial partners, like SpaceX, to launch astronauts to the International Space Station from U.S. soil on American-built rockets and spacecraft. Get an immersive look at the program with these videos, including one on training as an astronaut!

Are you the next space explorers?

The International Space Station (ISS) is a modular space station in low earth orbit. The ISS program is a multi-national collaboration between five space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ISS circles the Earth in roughly 92 minutes, completing 15.5 orbits per day. Take a tour of the different capsules and see what it's like to be "quarantined" in space!
