5.3 Science Telecons

Science telecons were conferences in which scientists discussed images and Earth science with teachers in a telecon format.  Several of these telecons were held for each mission.  Often, the scientists used other images in combination with KidSat data to emphasize a study of interest.  Teachers were able to download images prior to the telecon and ask questions about the subject matter in advance.  The scientists then discussed the images during the telecon.  The Exploration team documented the telecons and included them as explorations on the Exploration team's Web page.

5.4 Exploration Plan

The Exploration plan was written by the Exploration team.  The plan served the KidSat project and the KidSat students in several ways.  First, it established the overall KidSat exploration objectives, requirements, and priorities for the missions.  Second, it served as a guide for long-term exploration planning.  The team responsible for the contents of the Exploration plan consisted of students, teachers and scientists.  The Exploration plan is available on-line as part of the Exploration Web site.
