Professional Development Opportunity for Science On a Sphere Installations
NASA's next mission to Mars – the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission - is set to launch in November! MAVEN will explore the red planet’s upper atmosphere, ionosphere and interactions with the Sun and solar wind. By examining the loss of volatile compounds, such as water and carbon dioxide, MAVEN will provide insight into the history of Mars's atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and habitability.
Invisible Mars, a new show for Science On a Sphere, explains what we know about Mars's climate and how the MAVEN mission will help us understand how and why it's changed over time. Join MAVEN scientists, engineers, and educators at Kennedy Space Center on November 15-16, 2013 for a professional development training on how you can use Invisible Mars at your venue.
Participants may be given a stipend to help pay for their travel, and they and their families will be invited to attend the MAVEN launch, currently scheduled for November 18, 2013.
Applications for the professional development training will be accepted through May 31, 2013. Space is limited. To apply, please visit:
