Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum: Mars InSight Landing Viewing Party

Are you ready for Insight to make its touchdown on Mars? Vandenberg’s first interplanetary launch is ready to make its landing and we’re celebrating at the museum from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Children and their families can view the landing of NASA’s InSight on Mars live through our Vandenberg Launch Experience at noon. They can also build a mini lander, learn about shock absorption with a fun Jell-O experiment, and understand the InSight’s mission better by interacting with a hands-on heat sensor and seismograph!
