EarthKAM's 86th Mission Aboard the ISS!
EarthKAM's 86th Mission Aboard the ISS!
We got to participate in the 86th mission of the Sally Ride EarthKAM project aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that took place from November 7 to November 10, 2023! We received mission codes to tell the EarthKAM camera aboard the ISS to take pictures of different places on the Earth for us. Here are some photos from my class:

Our Names in Space to Jupiter's Moon!
Our Names in Space to Jupiter's Moon!
We were also able to add our names to an upcoming NASA mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons! The Europa Clipper mission is scheduled to launch in October of 2024 and six years later, by 2030, the ship should reach Europa, which is 1.8 BILLION miles away! This site includes a list of the sensors aboard the Clipper. Check out their video:
