AirSpace Season 10, Episode 1: The Science Never Stops

Our museum collection is sometimes a working one. That means that scientists come to do aviation or space research using objects in the Museum. Sometimes it's as simple as an engineer coming after hours to look a little closer at a plane or spacecraft so they can better understand how it works. And other times it's more complex.

In This Episode:

  • The process for requesting to do science with our stuff
  • How researchers from Johns Hopkins University came to the Museum to conduct seismology research using the Viking Lander
  • Other examples of continued research using our artifacts
