NASA Social is the next evolution in the agency\u2019s social media efforts. Formerly called NASA Tweetup, our NASA Social program includes both special in-person events and social media credentials for individuals who share the news in a significant way.

Social events provide NASA followers with the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes at NASA facilities and events and speak with scientists, engineers, astronauts, and managers. NASA Socials range from two hours to two days in length and include a “meet and greet” session to allow participants to mingle with fellow socialites and the people behind NASA’s social media accounts. Social media credentials give users a chance to apply for the same access as journalists in an effort to align the access and experience of social media representatives with those of traditional media. People who actively collect, report, analyze, and disseminate news on social networking platforms are encouraged to apply for media credentials. Selection is not random. Those chosen must prove through the registration process they meet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/general\/apply-for-a-nasa-social-media-credential\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/general\/apply-for-a-nasa-social-media-credential\/\">specific engagement criteria<\/a>. Qualified attendees will have the same access to the event as news media and may view launches, participate in media briefings, tours, and other available opportunities. All social media accreditation applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I register?<\/strong><br>Registration and application opportunities for the NASA Social program will be announced on this page, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/nasa\" rel=\"noopener\">@NASA<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/nasasocial\" rel=\"noopener\">@NASASocial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need to have a social media account to register for a NASA Social?<\/strong><br>Yes. NASA Socials are designed for social media users who follow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/nasa\" rel=\"noopener\">@NASA<\/a> on a variety of social media platforms. You can find all the ways to connect with NASA on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/socialmedia\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/socialmedia\/\">Social Media<\/a> page. The goal of NASA Socials is to allow people who regularly interact with each other via these platforms to meet in person and discuss one of their favorite subjects: NASA.

You are responsible for your own expenses for travel, accommodation, food, and other amenities. NASA centers are government facilities. If approved, you will need to provide two forms of government-issued identification; one must be a photo ID. When registering, please ensure that you use your full name as it appears on your identification. For a complete list of acceptable forms of ID, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/i-9_poster_acceptable_documents_2014_04_23.pdf?emrc=50f09c\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/i-9_poster_acceptable_documents_2014_04_23.pdf?emrc=50f09c\">NASA Credentialing Identification Requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I register if I am not a U.S. citizen?<\/strong><br>Non-U.S. citizens may register to attend various NASA Socials. Some activities associated with these Socials take place in restricted-access areas which do not allow access for non-U.S. citizens. Please carefully review the information posted pertaining to each social event for which you wish to register. Non-U.S. citizens will be required to provide additional documentation in order to gain access to NASA facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I register if I have previously attended a NASA Social?<\/strong><br>Participants often tell us what an incredible experience it is to attend a NASA event, and we agree. We\u2019re thrilled participants love the experience and want to return for more. We want as many people as possible to have that opportunity. Therefore, if you\u2019ve been to a NASA Tweetup, NASA Social, or had social media credentials before, we strongly encourage you to resist the urge to register again and instead allow someone else to have the chance at the opportunity. Share the experience with your friends and encourage them to register or apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I improve my chances by registering multiple times or with multiple social media accounts or email addresses?<\/strong><br>Only one entry per person counts. Please do not register or apply multiple times or try to game the system by registering with a different Twitter handles, email addresses, or other multiple accounts. Each person gets one entry, and we do remove duplicate entries. Have a question not answered here? Need more information?

ICESat-2 will launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II, the rocket\u2019s final mission, from Space Launch Complex 2 at VAFB. Launch is scheduled for 8:46 a.m. EDT (5:46 a.m. PDT). The satellite will measure the height of our changing Earth, one laser pulse at a time, 10,000 laser pulses per second. ICESat-2 will provide scientists with height measurements that create a global portrait of Earth's third dimension, gathering date that can precisely track changes of terrain, including glaciers, sea ice and forests."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/258437"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/219"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/258437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":629424,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/258437\/revisions\/629424"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258437"},{"taxonomy":"news-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-tags?post=258437"},{"taxonomy":"internal-terms","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-terms?post=258437"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=258437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
