The El Paso Space Festival is part of a nationwide celebration of educational programs designed to engage audiences in the awe-inspiring fields of Earth and space science.
Families attending festival events will be able to explore Earth and space phenomena, learn about current NASA Research, launch rockets, and stargaze, learn about the connections between story and astronomy, make moon craters, and much more! There is something for everyone, for all ages!
“Let’s Go to the Moon! Vamos a la Luna!” is this year’s theme in part to celebrate NASA’s Artemis Mission aimed at returning humans to the Moon on a permanent basis. The first Mission is scheduled to launch this year to “demonstrate the performance of both Orion and the SLS rocket and test our capabilities to orbit the Moon and return to Earth”
