Live on Green!
(December 25-January 1)
Eighteen volunteers from The Aerospace Corporation joined with the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) to pay tribute to space exploration in this winter family festival, which took place during the iconic Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. We demonstrated our space debris modeling data, let visitors touch real space junk, and had people guess when they thought the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 would plummet back to Earth.
