Educational Outreach Corner

As Arrival Day draws near, Galileo's Educational Outreach activities are stepping up.

October Workshops

For those in the Southern California area (or anyone interested in a weekend jaunt), there will be a Galileo Jupiter Arrival Preview Educator Workshop on October 29, 1995, from 1- 5 p.m., at JPL.

The workshop will follow a weekend-long Ulysses educator's workshop, both of which are free. For additional information, contact David M. Seidel at david.m.seidel@jpl.nasa.gov, or the

Online From Jupiter

Interested in exploring the solar system and Jupiter? Curious about what it's like behind the scenes, working on NASA's Galileo mission? Then, you'll want to tune in to Galileo's new Online From Jupiter, coming to the Internet in mid-October. Online From Jupiter will share the real-time experiences of Galileo's flight team participants with K-12 classrooms and others. From mid-October through January, you'll be able to read the journal entries written by members of the flight team, describing their work. You'll have a front seat for the excitement surrounding arrival at Jupiter (on December 7) as scientists and engineers monitor Galileo's receipt of the precious data from the spacecraft's atmospheric Probe and the main spacecraft's entry into orbit around Jupiter. After reading the journal entries and background material, K-12 students and teachers can ask project members questions (via e- mail) from late November through January--and receive personal responses (which will also be made publicly available).

For more information, send e-mail to:

or set your World Wide Web browser to:

Online From Jupiter will be available to non-World Wide Web users, too, via FTP, Gopher, and others.

On Arrival Day itself, mission commentary will be broadcast on NASA television starting about 10 a.m. PST on December 7, 1995. Interviews with project scientists and engineers will be interspersed with mission status reports throughout the day.
