The group of 21 keen students had a chance to learn a great deal about Rocket Science, Presentation - Training of Astronauts, Project Work, Rocket Building & Launching, Designing of Mars Rover, and Building of International Space Station.

The students also got opportunity to interact with space scientists and NASA experts like the Space Suit Designer – Ms. Heather Paul, Chief Engineer for Design Groups – Mr. Satish Reddy, and chief space scientist – Kamlesh Lulla. These scientists shared their views and knowledge with the visitants.

Furthermore, the students also got a chance to visit the NASA’s space vehicle launch facility and Launch Control Center (spaceport) – the John F.
