Davis graduates from academy

Davis Bishop, Columbus, recently attended Advanced Space Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Official Visitor Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

The week-long educational program promotes science, technology, engineering and math while training students and adults with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem-solving.

Bishop was part of the Advanced Space Academy program, which is designed for trainees who are interested in space exploration. Bishop spent a week training with a team that flew a simulated space mission to Mars. The crew participated in experiments and successfully completed an extra-vehicular activity, or spacewalk, before returning to Earth to graduate with honors.
