GLOBAL SPONSORS

Asteroid Day is a UN-sanctioned global awareness campaign participated annually on 30 June. Our mission is to inspire, engage and educate the public about asteroids opportunities and risks. 

ASTEROID DAY GLOBAL IS GOING DIGITAL FOR 2020

The virtual festivities kick off with a full 34 days of Asteroid Day TV (ADTV) starting June 1 and running through July 4. This year’s ADTV will consist of asteroid-related content for all ages including academic  documentaries, family learning movies, current asteroid mission highlights, origins of the planet, and much more. 

Tuesday June 30, we’ll be broadcasting a brand new Asteroid Day LIVE Digital from Luxembourg (ADLIVE)—a 4-hour program featuring astronauts, asteroid experts, and other notables.  Themes this year will include topics such as current missions advancing efforts to develop greater asteroid detection, tracking and deflection techniques, and space resource initiatives. 

ADTV and ADLIVE Digital from Luxembourg will be available on select local channels via SES signal, online at Twitch TV, YouTube, and streamed here on the Asteroid Day website. We’ll be announcing details on how to tune in the last week of May. To tune in, visit the website on June 1 and subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest information.
