This announcement will go out soon:
Announcing AMSAT’s LCROSS “Lunar Bash” Live Special Event * 2009 AMSAT Space Symposium Celebrating 40 Years in Space
Date: Friday October 9, 2009 Location/Time: 0600-0900 Crane A/B, Four Points Sheraton Hotel at BWI Airport Hosted by Samudra Haque, N3RDX, [email protected] Open to All 2009 AMSAT Space Symposium Attendees
Let’s Kick Up Some Moon Dust !
Join us in the Crane A/B rooms between at 0630 with other early bird AMSAT attendees for a Presentation and Live Simulcast of NASA’s Return to the Moon – and an once-in-a-lifetime event of the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) impact into the Cabeus crater on the Lunar Surface estimated at 0730 EDT. The event will showcase NASA documentaries on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and LCROSS missions, the Music Video “Water on the Moon” by NASA Deputy Project Manager John Marmie and will shift to the live video stream with commentary from NASA TV shortly before the actual impact event.
As the best viewing of the impact site from Earth will be available to ground based telescope located in the Mid-West and points towards the West Coast we hope to see pre-recorded images/video clips well after the impact event as it is relayed from observing communities. If such images are available, we will post them during our open session. Educators and Students can obtain digital copies of the presentation materials from the host and can review “On the Moon” Educators guide which contains learning activities for Students. *In collaboration with NASA
