What is Space Day?

Since its launch in 1997, the Space Day educational initiative, which takes place on the first Friday of each May, has evolved into a massive grassroots effort dedicated to the extraordinary achievements, benefits and opportunities in the exploration and use of space.

At the Challenger Learning Center of Maine, Space Day is EVERY DAY! Join us as we celebrate the 2012 Space Day with a special Open House. Come and see how the Challenger Center inspires Maine's students year round.
