| Session Description |
Recent years have seen growth in the number of nations that are conducting spacecraft missions for planetary science, space science, and astronomy. China, India, and Japan have flown successful lunar and planetary missions. Korea and Russia also have plans to enter or re-enter the arena of space exploration. A challenge for countries with youthful space exploration programs is to engage their citizens and communicate an appreciation of the value and excitement of space exploration. This session will highlight education and public outreach (EPO) programs, strategies, and technologies, with emphasis on developing countries and nations that are relatively new to space science and exploration. We also welcome presentations that describe outreach programs that have been successful in the U.S., Europe, or elsewhere. |
