A Previous World Space Week to Explore 

THEME:  Space Unites the World
"Space brings the people of the world together: [for example] Communication satellites keep people close by linking places far apart.  Earth observing satellites help keep people safe in case of disasters.  And global positioning satellites
​help us find our way in this vast world,”


Explore the  Space Week website which includes additional activities and information.
