Pickett County K8 was one of five schools that got to talk with NASA scientists at TTU via video conference this morning. The other schools included DeKalb West, Tuckers Crossroads, Prescott South Middle School, and Doyle Elementary. All of our 5th graders got to participate in the video conference and a few got to ask the scientists questions that they came up with on their own, pertaining to the Space Launch System, while studying aspects of our Solar System and Space Travel.
The NASA Scientists talked with the students about NASA's new Space Launch System. The SLS is an advanced, heavy-lift launch vehicle which will provide an entirely new capability for science and human exploration beyond Earth's orbit. The SLS will give the nation a safe, affordable and sustainable means of reaching beyond our current limits and open new doors of discovery from the unique vantage point of space.
Here are some pictures from the video conference in Mrs. Elisabeth Johnson's classroom this morning.
