- USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo on the National Mall
USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo Dates: October 23 & 24, 2010; 10:00am-5:30pm; This event is free of charge – no tickets required
What is the universe made of? Why did dinosaurs go extinct? What do magic tricks and hip-hop have to with math? What can amphibians and reptiles tell us about the environment? What do engineers have to do with baseball? Find out at the first ever USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo on the National Mall! Explore science & engineering with hundreds of free, hands-on activities and over 40 science shows on three different stages.

Test as you fly – Mission success through realistic testing
Space science and exploration missions are becoming increasingly more complex and expensive. In order to assure mission success, it is critical to develop test scenarios that more closely simulate the actual operational environment of the spacecraft. Even though environmental testing is a highly labor
intensive and costly endeavor, the consequences of inadequate testing could be performance anomalies
and in some cases complete mission failure.
