Special Event

Veteran astronauts Joan Higginbotham and Julie Payette will be at the visitor complex on June 10, 2024 and this is your opportunity to hear their stories first-hand! At 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM, they will be inside Journey To Mars Launched by United Launch Alliance to share how every job in the space industry is important from launch to landing. Plus, Payette was also a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut, so they will share their unique perspective of working with both NASA and CSA. Following their presentations, they want to meet you! Have your camera ready to capture the time you met an astronaut.
