What We Do
NSSNT members attend many public outreach events throughout the year like our annual Moon Day event at the Frontiers of Flight Museum.
Astronomy Day at UT-Arlington Planetarium, annual Yuri’s Night celebration, and many exhibits, lectures, classes and demonstrations at various museums and venues like the Sci-Tech Discovery Center, Perot Museum, Noble Planetarium, C R Smith Museum, and much more in the Dallas and Fort Worth area.
We also attend schools–public, private, home schooled, etc.–and other organizations to promote science, engineering and space.
