NASA"s Planetary Missions In-Person
Join us for our next program in our Space Program Series: NASA’s Planetary Missions with NASA Ambassador Jim Porter-- to discover the rich heritage of NASA planetary exploration and where the latest missions will be taking us into the future.
For the past 60 years, NASA has been exploring our solar system in detail, visiting every planet and many of the smaller comets and meteors as well! Beginning with the earliest satellites, space flights have been sent to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and beyond. It has been an incredible voyage of remarkable scientific discovery and fascinating human drama, some of which originated right here in Rochester, NY.
Jim Porter worked for over two decades as an aerospace engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA and Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. His presentations are popular, engaging, and easy to listen to for all levels.
