Six Northport Public School students are embarking on a stellar project focused on space exploration of the moon that could earn them a trip to the Kennedy Space Center later this year.
Northport school is one of only two schools in Michigan fielding a team in NASA’s nationwide 2024 Artemis ROADS (ROVER Observation and Drone Survey) Challenge.
The program is hosted by Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pathways in partnership with NASA, and gives students the opportunity to complete eight lunar mission objectives related to NASA Artemis Missions, which aims to send humans back to the moon. Teams research and design their own NASA mission and encompasses various handson activities like rover programming and cultivating moon plants.
