EXCITING, NEVER-EXPERIENCED SPACE EXPLORATION EVENT ON THE CENTRAL
COAST
Come enjoy the excitement and awe
of LIVE coverage of the landing of the
PHOENIX Mars Lander on
Mars on May 25th. Such a high-end space exploration event has
never occurred on the Central Coast, and may not occur again for
many years, if ever. This will be a wonderfully energizing
event, especially for students of all ages who love science and
space exploration.
Join many other folks who love
space exploration, in experiencing a live video/audio connection to
NASA's and Caltech's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
PHOENIX mission control, watching and listening to the PHOENIX
mission team as they wait breathlessly for the rocket landing, and,
hopefully, the transmission of live images from the Martian polar
ice cap. PHOENIX will touch-down at 4:36 PM Pacific Time, but
the signal will not be received on Earth until a little after 4:50
PM.
Cal Poly Professor and planetary
scientist Dr.
John Keller will give a presentation about the PHOENIX mission
starting at 4 PM. And, members of Cal Poly's Astronomy Club
will have special activities for children ages 4 to 10.
Schedule:
3:45 - 5:00 Activities for
