MARSTruck Program
The MARS Truck, operated by LaSPACE at LSU, is a light commercial box truck containing computer controlled telescopes, a portable planetarium, science activity kits/demos, and other equipment and materials to provide astronomy and physics learning experiences to people of all ages.
The main objective of the MARS Truck is to provide astronomy and physics learning experiences to audiences with limited or no access to fixed site science centers or museums. A MARS truck program typically includes telescope sky viewing, a digital planetarium show, and science activities and demonstrations, staffed by LSU faculty, LaSPACE staff, and LSU students. The MARS vehicle can travel to sites such as parks, festival grounds, industry sites, and schools around the state to support public exposure to informal science education.
