Educator Astronaut Project information


The Educator Astronaut Project is a NASA program to educate students and spur excitement in science, technology, engineering, math, and space exploration. It is a successor to the Teacher in Space Project of the 1980s, which NASA cancelled after the death of teacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster (STS-51-L) amid concerns about the risk of sending civilians into space.
