Hampton

NASA has announced finalists for two major student competitions: 14 university teams for the 2026 RASC-AL Competition and eight for the Gateways to Blue Skies Competition.

An Artemis Moon Tree was dedicated at Mary W. Jackson Elementary School in Hampton on March 18, 2026, following its planting by students in November 2025. The loblolly pine grew from a seed that orbited the Moon during the Artemis I mission in 2022.
