STEMonstrations: Distribution of Mass | International Space Station

STEMonstrations: Distribution of Mass | International Space Station

Have you ever kicked a soccer ball and wondered why it curves, spins, or sometimes wobbles? 

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir aboard the International Space Station explains the science hidden inside every ball. Engineers carefully design soccer balls so they fly smoothly whether they are being kicked in your backyard or in the World Cup.

We are engaging students in NASA’s exciting missions, broad range of careers, and unique opportunities. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth, and strive to land the next humans on the Moon with the Artemis Program.
