For the 4th year, the National Space Society took around 80 middle school students on an overnight weekend trip to Biosphere 2 for their annual space design competition. The students had the opportunity to visit SAM for a tour with Luna and Matthias. Together, they put 20 students on the Reduced Gravity Simulator, provided an educational, geological tour of the SAM Mars Yard, and provided an external tour of SAM. Many of the students said that the knowledge they learned during the tour will help them during the competition! Thanks to Ty White who helped organize and set up the tour for his students.
