NASA at Discovery Days

Sept. 18 – 19, 2026

Blast off into the future of space exploration and become part of the Artemis Generation with NASA at Discovery Days, an immersive event Sept. 18-19 featuring the incredible teams from NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland! 

Dive into humanity’s journey back to the Moon and beyond as you explore how Glenn’s experts in power, propulsion, communications, and materials are helping NASA build the foundation for astronauts to travel farther than ever before. These are the brilliant minds powering missions like Artemis II — NASA’s first crewed trip around the Moon in more than 50 years — and paving the way for the first astronauts of this generation to walk on the lunar surface, establish a sustained presence, and eventually travel to Mars. 

Attendees will step into the shoes of NASA explorers with: 

  • Interactive exhibits that bring the Artemis story to life — from details on the Orion spacecraft to the powerful SLS (Space Launch System) rocket 
  • Hands-on simulations that let visitors soar through space using virtual and augmented reality 
  • Opportunities to meet real NASA engineers, scientists, and communicators who help make deep space missions possible 
  • Examples of how aeronautics and space innovations are improving everyday life on Earth 
  • Inspiring conversations about how you can help shape the next giant leap 

Discovery Days is designed to bring the excitement of space exploration outside the gates of NASA Glenn and straight to you. Come spark your curiosity, discover new possibilities, and see how NASA is building a future where today’s students become tomorrow’s lunar explorers. 

Because the Artemis Generation isn’t just watching history happen — they’re making it.

      (April 6, 2026) – NASA’s Orion spacecraft captures the Moon and the Earth in one frame during the Artemis II crew’s deep space journey at 6:42 p.m. ET on the sixth day of the mission. The right side of NASA’s Orion spacecraft is seen lit up by the Sun. A waxing crescent Moon is visible behind it. And then, a crescent Earth, tiny compared to the Moon, is about to set below the Moon’s horizon on the right.
