Go Behind the Scenes at Johnson Space Center Leading up to Super Bowl LI

Are you passionate about all things space, football and social media? Then don’t miss the opportunity to join our NASA Social event at Johnson Space Center in Houston on Feb. 1, the week leading up to Super Bowl LI.

We are inviting 50 social media users to apply for credentials to join us to get a special insider's look at the central hub of human space exploration and to share their experience with the world!

During this behind-the-scenes tour, attendees will visit real-world examples of astronaut training, deep space technologies, our new Orion spacecraft, which will carry humans on a journey to Mars, and current work aboard the International Space Station. NASA has 10 field centers across the country, and the work being done at NASA’s center in Houston is a major component in helping expand the frontier of space exploration.

As a NASA Social participant, you will have the opportunity to:

meet an astronaut and the people who train and support them in space
tour special locations around the Johnson Space Center, including the current International Space Station and Historic Apollo Mission Control rooms, mockups of the space station and the new Orion Spacecraft and the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, a huge pool where astronauts train for spacewalks
hear from NASA experts as they explain the many analogies that exist between football and America’s space program
learn about current scientific experiments underway aboard the space station and new experiments planned to launch in the future
see how the space station is being used as a scientific laboratory to test groundbreaking, new technologies that will help astronauts safely reach deep space destinations
meet NASA’s social media team and fellow space enthusiasts who are active on social media
and more!
Social media accreditation for the event is now open. The deadline to apply is 12 p.m. (noon) EST on Jan. 9. All social media accreditation applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Do I need to have a social media account to register?
Yes. This event is designed for people who:

actively use multiple social networking platforms and tools to disseminate information to a unique audience
regularly produce new content that features multimedia elements
have the potential to reach a large number of people using digital platforms
reach a unique audience, separate and distinctive from traditional news media and/or NASA audiences
have an established history of posting content on social media platforms
have previous postings that are highly visible, respected and widely recognized
Users on all social networks are encouraged to use the hashtag #NASASocial, and #

SB51. Updates and information about the event will be shared on Twitter via @NASASocial and @NASA_Johnson, and via posts on Facebook at NASA or the International Space Station, and Google+.

How do I register?
Registration is now open on this page.  For U.S. citizens active on social media, the deadline to apply is 12 p.m. EST on Monday, Jan. 9. Registration is for one person only and is non-transferable. Each individual wishing to attend must register separately. Each application will be evaluated on its merit and ability to meet the criteria as outlined above.

Can I register if I am not a U.S. citizen?
Social media credentialing for international guests for this NASA Social Media event is closed. 

When will I know if I am selected?
After registrations have been received and processed, an email with confirmation information and additional instructions will be sent to those selected and those on the waitlist. We expect to send notifications no later than Jan. 13.

What are NASA Social media credentials?
Social media credentials give users a chance to apply for similar access as journalists in an effort to align the access and experience of social media representatives with those of traditional media. People who actively collect, report, analyze and disseminate news on social networking platforms are encouraged to apply for media credentials. Selection is not random. All social media accreditation applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Those chosen must prove through the registration process they meet specific engagement criteria.

What are the registration requirements?
Registration indicates your intent to travel to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and attend the one-day event in person. You are responsible for your own expenses for travel, accommodation, food and other amenities.
