NASA Wallops Flight Facility is offering several hands-on internship opportunities open to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students (age 16 and up) for the upcoming summer and fall 2025 sessions. Deadline to register for summer 2025 is February 28. Register for fall 2025 by May 16. Visit intern.nasa.gov.

NASA Wallops Visitor Center will Celebrate Pace from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 8. Dive into the wonders of Earth by celebrating the launch anniversary of NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean, Ecosystem (PACE) mission. Participants of all ages are welcome to engage in hands-on activities and learn more about the spacecraft during this free program. The public is invited to explore the Wallops Visitor Center Thursdays-Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit nasa.gov/wallops/visitor-center.

Wallops’ sounding rocket team is at Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska, for the launch of two NASA rocket missions. The rockets will fly through flickering, vanishing auroras in the Alaskan skies to help scientists understand the space around our planet, which can affect both spacecraft and astronauts. Launch operations continue into February.
