U.S. Dept. of Education Deputy Secretary Cindy Marten signs the floor of the Lunabotics arena at the Center for Space Education at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida on March 16, 2022. The LUNABOTICS competition is an engineering exercise that challenges college students to develop a lunar excavator as part of NASA’s Artemis student challenges. Marten was at Kennedy Space Center to address NASA’s national partners and guests during the one-day Artemis Summit.

Partners and guests toured the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 16, 2022 ahead of the rollout of the agency’s Artemis I Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft to Launch Pad 39B for a wet dress rehearsal ahead of launch. The group was at the center for the Artemis Summit, a one-day meeting for partners, grantees and other interested organizations to learn about Public and STEM Engagement plans and opportunities for the upcoming Artemis I mission. The event introduced participants to the importance of the Artemis program and supports them in the use of Artemis I content as they serve students, educators, families, and the general public.

This Mars Global Surveyor MGS Mars Orbiter Camera MOC image shows a channel extending northward from the Elysium Mons caldera at the volcano summit

Today's VIS image shows part of the summit caldera of Olympus Mons. Scarps and extensional features (graben) record multiple stages of caldera collapse at the summit of Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the solar system, reaching heights of over 40 km (25 miles) tall from base to summit, with the base covering an area as large as the state of Arizona. For comparison, Mauna Loa is 9 km (5.5 miles) tall measured from its base on the sea floor.
