NASA/JPL & WHOI Live from Research Vessel Atlantis — Meet the Professionals [High School Member Webinar]

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site  with your member credentials to be able to access the on-demand replay.

Hosted by the AIAA STEM K-12 Outreach Committee. Meet and hear directly from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) engineers and scientists aboard R/V Atlantis. High school students were able to ask questions and learn about the interaction between disciplines, avenues for careers, and get a tour of the expedition. The webinar featured a direct connection with the team in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska that is currently diving both the crewed Alvin submersible and the robotic Orpheus-class submersibles to map and sample some of the deepest regions on Earth (5000m in the Aleutian trench). Interact with the team collaborating to build and deploy the Orpheus-class vehicles that contribute to Earth-science as well as serve as early pre-cursors for vehicles that might explore ocean worlds beyond the Earth.
