PLANETARY MISSIONS PROGRAM OFFICE SOCIAL MEDIA

Facebook Posts

As the Communications and Outreach Intern for the Planetary Missions Program Office (PMPO) I was given the responsibility of creating content for the office’s official Facebook page. The majority of content was geared towards promoting information about the various current and future planetary science missions and their scientific discoveries. These posts required me to do extensive research on space and science topics that are often difficult to write about in a shortened social media format. Writing about these topics in an accessible way is a skill I was able to develop during my time at PMPO.

Below you will find links to several Facebook posts that I independently created for the page:
