MoonKAM - Education and Public Outreach for NASA's GRAIL Mission

From the abstract: In September 2011, NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission will launch twin spacecraft in tandem orbits around the Moon to measure its gravity in unprecedented detail. The mission will answer key questions about the Moon's internal structure and give scientists a better understanding of how our solar system formed. The spacecraft will send back information during a three-month “science phase” of the mission from March through May of 2012. As the GRAIL satellites orbit the Moon gathering scientific data, they will also be taking images of the lunar surface. Each satellite will carry four cameras dedicated to MoonKAM (Moon Knowledge Acquired by Middle School Students), GRAIL’s signature Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) program. Middle-school students across the country will be able to request and analyze photos of craters, highlands, maria and other lunar features. The MoonKAM images and supporting educational materials will be available for public access on the MoonKAM website, www.GRAILMoonKAM.com....
