Hooray! NASA is working to send humans back to the Moon to live, learn, and explore through the Artemis campaign. As a member of the Artemis Generation, NASA invites you to be a part of the story. Hooray for SLS!, written by Lane Polak and illustrated by Heather Legge-Click, is the first in a series of children’s books that introduces young explorers ages 3 to 8 to the unique elements needed for the Artemis missions to get to deep space and the Moon, like NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The SLS mega rocket is special. It is designed to launch astronauts and heavy payloads from Earth, sailing across a cosmic sea to the Moon and beyond. We are going! We’re traveling deeper in space than we ever have before, and that calls for a celebration. Hooray for SLS!

Maintaining a comfortable temperature through thermal energy transfer plays a large role in sustaining life, both aboard the International Space Station and on Earth. In this STEMonstration, NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara explains three different ways thermal energy can be transferred from object to object to help maintain homeostasis: conduction, convection, and radiation. Learn how astronauts aboard the space station observe changes in ocean life and send their observations to scientists on Earth. In the corresponding classroom connection, students will conduct their own experiments and classify natural phenomena into one of the three types of thermal energy transfer.

As the saying goes, “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” and at NASA, Annie Meier is that person! Annie is a space waste engineer working on technologies to convert waste into vital resources for human space travel. Trash can be used to produce important gasses and even water – commodities astronauts traveling to another planet can’t just pick up along the way. Click to learn about Annie's journey.
