GAVRT Students Prepare to Track LCROSS
June 10, 2009
A Pre-launch webcast is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 11am EDT (15:00 UTC). Several GAVRT teachers AND students will be interviewed LIVE from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA has set the launch date for the LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) and the LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) missions. These missions will launch together on June 17, 2009, aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Join NASA for a Launch Minus One webcast where viewers will be introduced to some of these crucial participants. Viewers will also learn how to become involved in the project firsthand.
For more information about the webcast, visit http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/webcast.htm. You should also be able to view the webcast within 24 hours after the event if you cannot view it live on the same webpage.
I hope you can join us as GAVRT students get their chance to tell the world how they get to be a part of NASA's first lunar mission of the 21st Century!
