Open to: Grades K–12 Teachers
Opportunity at a Glance: In 2002, John Herrington made history as the first citizen of a federally recognized Native American tribe (Chickasaw Nation) to travel to space. Herrington was part of the STS-113 mission to deliver a new Expedition 6 crew to the International Space Station (ISS) and the P1 Truss segment, which provides structural support for the ISS radiators.
We invite you to join us during this teacher workshop, to hear from Commander Herrington as he traces his journey on the Space Shuttle Endeavour, share details about his spacewalks, and discuss the “overview effect” and how his view of Earth and climate was transformed by his time in space.
