| Abstract: |
NASA's Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) mission is being built for a planned launch in 2006. The primary goal of GLAST is to identify and study nature's highest energy particle accelerators through observations of active galactic nuclei, pulsars, black holes, supernova remnants and gamma-ray bursts. One of the components of the education and public outreach (E/PO) program of the mission is the GLAST Educator Ambassador (EA) program. This program, while new to high-energy astrophysics, is modeled after the Solar System Ambassadors and Educator Fellows programs at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. |
