Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

Overview

National Geographic Live brings Explorers from the field to your city, live on stage.

Go behind the scenes on spacecraft builds with aerospace engineer Tracy Drain to answer some of the most intriguing questions about our universe.

Discover the marvels of our cosmic backyard through the eyes of the robotic spacecraft sent out to explore it. 

Aerospace engineer and National Geographic Explorer Tracy Drain works at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop, test, and operate the complex machines that uncover some of the countless mysteries within (and way beyond!) our solar system. Among her projects: rovers on Mars, a mission to Jupiter, and a hunt for exoplanets that reshaped our entire understanding of the galaxy.

National Geographic Live: Cosmic Adventures with Tracy Drain is part of World Science Festival Brisbane. Find out more here.
