For six decades, NASA has used the vantage point of space to better understand our home planet and improve lives. Learn more about the many ways that NASA's Earth observations help people strengthen communities across the United States and make informed decisions about public health, disaster response and recovery, and environmental protection. As astronauts venture farther from Earth, and for longer periods, food will become increasingly critical.

A special presentation of stories from two of NASA’s Native American employees will follow the scientific talks. Aaron Yazzie, Diné, earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. As a Mechanical Engineer with a focus on Planetary Sample Acquisition and Handling at NASA, Yazzie designs mechanisms for acquiring geological samples from other planets.
