In action for National Rebuilding Month
Collaboration, community and care took center stage during National Rebuilding Month, which saw 46 NNSS volunteers revitalize the home of a Southern Nevada resident throughout April as part of the NNSS’ multi-year partnership with Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada. NNSS team members provided critical home repairs, maintenance and cleanup tasks for the widow of a U.S. veteran.

Out-of-this-world STEM
During the final STEM Saturday of the 2024-2025 academic year, NNSS personnel presented how we support NASA Artemis astronauts with the Nevada Space Proving Grounds, a premier mission-scale testing and training center for all people and equipment bound for the Moon, Mars and beyond. Students then created a colorful scale of the solar system.
