Kean Buss of Juneau recently attended and graduated from Space Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.<\/p>\n
The weeklong educational program promotes science, technology, engineering and math while training students and adults with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem-solving.<\/p>\n
Buss was part of the Space Academy program, designed for those who have an interest in space exploration. Buss spent the week training with a team that flew a simulated space mission to Mars. The crew participated in experiments and completed an extra-vehicular activity, or spacewalk, and returned to Earth in time to graduate with honors.<\/p>\n
