Learn about how the study of space weather is vital to the continued success of these missions in space to ensure minimal disruption to our lives here on Earth.

Find out how the results from the Skylab studies continue to influence the course of international scientific research and have led to the development of heliophysics and the applied science of space weather.

In this lecture Karl Hufbauer will discuss how the Skylab project enabled solar scientists to partner with NASA to collect these valuable data.

Owen Garriott, one of the first six scientist-astronauts selected by NASA, will commemorate the human legacy of Skylab by drawing upon his experience as a member of the second Skylab crew.

Through the decades of planetary exploration, a wide variety of spacecraft (orbiters, landers, rovers, and more) have revealed an amazing diversity of worlds, each with its own story to tell.  Learn about these remarkable journeys as James L. Green guides us through the 50-year voyage of discovery.

Join Carol Raymond on a tour of this ancient world and learn what it can tell us about the early days of the solar system.

Launched in 1977 on a journey to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the two Voyager spacecraft are now nine and 11 billion miles from Earth, exploring the outermost layer of the heliosphere, a giant bubble of solar wind that envelops all of the planets. 

In August 2012 the Curiosity rover (Mars Science Laboratory) arrived on Mars in a daring feat of engineering.
