If you’d like to be our guest for this special evening, please RSVP now as tickets are limited! Tickets are free but required as parking and attendence are limited! Get your tickets HERE.

NASA’s LADEE observatory is a small robotic mission that will orbit Earth’s moon to gather detailed information about the lunar atmosphere, conditions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust. LADEE will also demonstrate NASA’s first dedicated laser communication system. Ames Research Center designed, developed, built and tested the spacecraft and will manage the 100-day science mission. After launch, Ames will control the spacecraft and execute mission operations.

If you’d like to find out more about LADEE, visit www.nasa.gov/ladee and follow the mission on Twitter at @NASALADEE.

NOTE: If LADEE’s launch is cancelled or postponed, this event will still occur on Sept. 6 and will not be re-scheduled for the next launch attempt. Since this is an outdoor evening event, please wear appropriate attire for the weather and for watching from the lawn (bring a chair, blanket, etc.).
