Sally Ride Science runs GRAIL MoonKAM, the educational outreach program for NASA’s 2012 GRAIL mission, which sends twin satellites to orbit the Moon and map its gravity. MoonKAM allows students around the world to request photos of the lunar surface from cameras on the satellites. On Dec. 17, 2012, NASA crashes the satellites into the Moon and names the impact site in honor of Ride, who had died five months earlier.
