Did you know that Engineers at NASA are taking classes in Origami to better understand how to fold and deploy everything from solar sails to parachutes? Today your task is to create your very own solar sail using the same techniques NASA technicians use! Please print the attached template and have an additional 8 sheets of 8 1/2 by 11 paper (color paper is even better). If Janet has time, she will even show you how to create their own 2 D Satellite which also turns into an Origami Ninja Star! - Ages 6–13 years old/Grades 1–8

The journey to reach the stars began with our earliest dreams of flying, and led to landing on the moon and sending a probe to Pluto. But that’s only the beginning.Space Next offers a glimpse into tomorrow, and the possibilities of what is to come by way of private space developments and national space programs. The result is a mesmerizing display of interplanetary excellence sure to inspire a generation of explorers, scientists, and dreamers. Come discover what’s next.
