LCROSS Impact Event

9-22-2009

Join the Lewis Center for Educational Research and witness the culmination of America's return to the Moon! On Friday, October 9th at 4:30 a.m. NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) will complete its 110-day mission by impacting the Moon's South Pole on the northwest rim of the Cabeus A crater.

From the beginning of the remarkable NASA Ames mission, students at the Lewis Center's Academy for Academic Excellence and schools throughout America and the world have tracked LCROSS with the Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT). We invite you to join us as we track LCROSS with the radio telescope as it makes its final descent and historic impact.

Please join children and adults from our Lewis Center family to celebrate this amazing event. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event you won't want to miss!
