Currently, security regulations do not permit \u201cdrop-in\u201d facility tours by the public.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current program options are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Living and Working in Space, Kindergarten \u2013 4th Grade<\/strong><br>People are living and working in space right now! Participants will discover many of the different ways that scientists, engineers and astronauts have developed to help humans live in space. They will also learn about the parts of an astronaut\u2019s spacesuit and then look at actual food items sent to the International Space Station. <br>This program includes a short Goddard Intro theater presentation and a live interactive presentation with a question-and-answer session. Time can be made either before or after (schedule depending) to explore exhibits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to Build a Satellite, 5th \u2013 8th Grade<\/strong><br>Building a satellite takes many steps, requires help from a team, and needs creativity and innovation to make things work. Participants will explore the engineering design process and how scientists and engineers at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center use it to solve problems. They will also talk about tools and components of a satellite with demonstrations focusing on infrared light. <br>This program includes a short Goddard Intro theater presentation and a live interactive presentation with a question-and-answer session. Time can be made either before or after (schedule depending) to explore exhibits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom programs may be offered based on availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onsite programs are only available Tuesday through Friday, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., with an advance reservation.

Groups must have a minimum of eight people and cannot exceed 50 people (this number includes chaperones for a student tour, for example). Tour participants must be at least 10 years old or in the fifth grade. Depending on which areas are available that day, facility tours visit satellite construction, testing and operations areas. Facility tours are two hours long and also include a guided presentation in the visitor center theater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting groups should plan to provide transportation (buses\/vans) to and from the Visitor Center and the facility buildings. Small groups should plan on providing one large vehicle that holds the entire group plus the tour guide. Free parking is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facility tours, like other onsite programs, are only available Tuesday through Friday, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., with an advance reservation.
