Behind the scenes at NASA, the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) project participants recently spoke (called from their mission) to Westwood Middle School science students in the classroom! Arnold Engineering Development Complex -STEM Educational Outreach Specialist, Jere Matty has helped Westwood Middle School science Teacher, Deb Wimberley with educational opportunities for her students in the past. When Jere’s son Christopher was chosen by NASA for the HERA project, a science class at the home of the ROCKETS was the perfect choice for astronaut/student interaction. Go to our website wmsrradio.com to see the video and learn more about NASA’s HERA project. HERA project is a critical component of NASA’s Flight Analogs Project, which carries out research on different aspects of human long-duration spaceflight.
