Join us for an Air and Space Live Chat about space junk — the thousands of human-made objects cluttering up Earth orbit. We'll be joined by Moriba Jah, an aerospace engineer with a specialty in space object detection, tracking, identification, and characterization. Bring your questions about orbital debris and what we can do about it. This program is part of the Smithsonian's Earth Optimism initiative. Watch on Facebook Live on the National Air and Space Museum Facebook page or on our website. We’ll be hosting an Air and Space Live Chat on Facebook Live every Thursday at 1 pm EDT until the Museum reopens. Each week we’ll feature a different expert to answer questions from kids, students, and air and space enthusiasts. |
