Today we had a presentation from Matthew W. Ritsko, NASA Program Business Manager, Joint Polar Satellite System and Deputy Project Manager for Resources Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Project. Mr. Ritsko explained the ins and outs of TESS the new satellite being launched this April and will photograph and collect data for the next two years. Tess is one of the smallest satellite ever put into space for this kind of exploration, https://tess.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Part of the video he shared with us about exoplanets and TESS is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=94&v=ZsPStvGgNuk
We also put the finishing touches on our planetarium including a glow in the dark milky way and prepared our keynote for the symposium. Can anyone guess what constellation this is?
We were also lucky to catch Mrs. Kosakowski in, she gave students a talk about celestial navigation!
