During Aerospace Day at Troy University, Fifth Grade Teacher Rebecca Powell of Red Level displays an autographed photo of Jim Voss, as the former NASA astronaut signs photos in the background. Voss completed five missions and spent 201 days in space. Aerospace Day is designed to inspire educators. Each year, the Wiregrass Math & Science Consortium hosts the event on the Dothan Campus.

 

Space Historian Jim Hansen signs a copy of his book, First Man:  The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, for Science Teacher Judy Mabry of Rehobeth High School. Hansen’s international best seller is the only authorized Armstrong biography. The event was part of the Wiregrass Math & Science Consortium’s annual Aerospace Day at Troy University.
