Space Day is the STEM outreach event for AIAA Houston's Yuri’s Night Houston Celebrations. Yuri’s Night is a world wide celebration of the technological achievement of sending Human’s to space. April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space and 20 years to the day later the first Space Shuttle, STS-1, launched! Houston has been a center for space flight activities with Johnson Space Center located here and John F. Kennedy launched the United States towards the moon with a speech from Rice University Stadium.

AIAA Houston hosts this event to highlight these historical achievements in space to the Houston community. At this year’s Space Day event look forward to interactive space exhibits and interesting speakers from the local Space Community.
