Fourth grade students from the Emily Dickinson \nElementary School in Bozeman, Mont., received the honor of making the \nfirst image selections by winning a nationwide competition to rename \nthe two spacecraft. \n\nThe image was taken by the MoonKam, or Moon Knowledge Acquired by \nMiddle school students. Previously named Gravity Recovery And \nInterior Laboratory (GRAIL) A and B, the twin spacecraft are now \ncalled Ebb and Flow. Both washing-machine-sized orbiters carry a \nsmall MoonKAM camera. Over 60 student-requested images were taken \naboard the Ebb spacecraft from March 15-17 and downlinked to Earth on \nMarch 20. \n\n\"MoonKAM is based on the premise that if your average picture is worth \na thousand words, then a picture from lunar orbit may be worth a \nclassroom full of engineering and science degrees,\" said Maria Zuber, \nGRAIL mission principal investigator from the Massachusetts Institute \nof Technology in Cambridge, Mass. \"Through MoonKAM, we have an \nopportunity to reach out to the next generation of scientists and \nengineers. It is great to see things off to such a positive start.\" \n\nGRAIL is NASA's first planetary mission to carry instruments fully \ndedicated to education and public outreach. Students will select \ntarget areas on the lunar surface and request images to study from \nthe GRAIL MoonKAM Mission Operations Center in San Diego. \n\nThe MoonKAM program is led by Sally Ride, America's first woman in \nspace, and her team at Sally Ride Science in collaboration with \nundergraduate students at the University of California in San Diego. \nMore than 2,700 schools spanning 52 countries are using the MoonKAM \ncameras. \n\n\"What might seem like just a cool activity for these kids may very \nwell have a profound impact on their futures,\" Ride said. \"The \nstudents really are excited about MoonKAM, and that translates into \nan excitement about science and engineering.\" \n\nLaunched in September 2011, Ebb and Flow will answer longstanding \nquestions about the moon and give scientists a better understanding \nof how Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed. \n\nNASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., manages the \nGRAIL mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. \nGRAIL is part of the Discovery Program managed at NASA's Marshall \nSpace Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Lockheed Martin Space Systems \nin Denver built the spacecraft. \n\nTo view the student-requested images, visit: \n\nhttp://images.moonkam.ucsd.edu \n\nFor more information about MoonKAM, visit: \n\nhttps://moonkam.ucsd.edu \n\nFor more information about GRAIL, visit: \n\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/grail \n\n   \n-end-\n\n\nSent from my iPod touch.\n",
