Extractions: The NASA Aerospace Education Services Program (AESP) serves America's education community by enhancing awareness and understanding of the scientific and technological advances growing out of NASA's missions of research, discovery, and exploration. AESP provides assistance and support to educators in updating science, mathematics, geography, and technology curricula and in utilizing new and evolving instructional technology and teaching strategies. AESP's Aerospace Education Specialists have broad general knowledge of NASA missions and programs and strong content background in NASA's five Strategic Enterprises: Aerospace education specialists are also experienced professional educators, current on vital education issues and familiar with the curriculum frameworks, educational standards, and systemic architecture of the states they serve. Specialists are actively involved in state systemic improvement and education reform efforts. AESP personnel are knowledgeable on the full range of NASA's curriculum support products, its diverse resources for students and educators, and its extensive array of education projects throughout the country. NASA is committed to coordinating all of its assets in each state to assist state and local leadership in meeting goals for systemic improvement. AESP serves as a NASA focus for facilitating this objective.

Extractions: Several Maine organizations are conducting research and education activities that relate to the study of Earth from space and the upper atmosphere. The following Affiliates of the Maine Space Grant Consortium are currently working on such projects: Gulf of Maine Aquarium GMA translates aquatic science for K-12 audiences and the general public. Because satellites offer a unique perspective on global aquatic ecosystems, much of GMA's work in recent years has relied on NASA and NOAA satellite imagery. Current or recent NASA-funded projects include the development of 100 Web-based K-12 activities about satellite imaging; the design, development and statewide dissemination of a public exhibit about how NASA's TOPEX/Poseidon oceanographic satellite works; and a series of hurricane posters with related classroom activities. Visit GMA's web site to learn more. Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences Bigelow Lab examines Maine's seas "From Microscopes to Satellites." Much of their research focuses on plankton, which provide the basis for all marine life. Using NASA's satellite-derived images of ocean color, Bigelow's scientists study how patterns of sunlight and nutrients influence where phytoplankton grow. They also examine how natural processes affect distribution and interactions among marine organisms such as lobsters. Visit Bigelow's web site to learn more.

NASA Observatorium - RSPAC Press Release 94-194 oceanographic applications and studies of the effect of human activities on the Windowsto the Universe An earth and space science Internet- Based Active http://observe.arc.nasa.gov/nasa/rspac/abt_grnt.html
Extractions: RELEASE: 94-194 November 18, 1994 NASA has selected ten organizations to receive a total of $6.8 million to help develop applications and technologies as part of the agency's efforts to stimulate public use of Earth and space science data over the Internet. This is the final selection for the current competition and follows the awards announced in August of this year. These awards are made by the NASA Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) program, a part of the federal initiative to stimulate a U.S. National Information Infrastructure, commonly called the "Information Superhighway." The IITA program aims to provide broad public access to remote sensing data, including Earth and space science data, for general purposes such as education, environmental emergency response and agriculture. "We're especially pleased by the diversity of institutions and users represented by this set of projects," said Paul Hunter, IITA program manager at NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. "We'll reach museum visitors in six states, plus the District of Columbia; farmers in Wisconsin; flood emergency managers in the southeast; Native Americans in the Great Plains; and many, many students nationwide. The developer community includes both large and small universities such as the University of California at Berkeley and Bowie State University in Bowie, MD, as well as large and small businesses."

Extractions: NASA's Earth Science Enterprise The purpose of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise ( ESE ) is to understand the total Earth system and the effects of natural and human-induced changes on the global environment. The Office of Earth Science is pioneering the new interdisciplinary field of research called Earth system science, born of the recognition that the Earth's land surface, oceans, atmosphere, ice sheets and biota are both dynamic and highly interactive. NASA's Earth Science Enterprise has evolved from what was previously called the Mission to Planet Earth. The Office of Earth Science comprises an integrated slate of spacecraft and in situ measurement capabilities; data and information management systems to acquire, process, archive and distribute global data sets; and research and analysis projects to convert data into new knowledge of the Earth system. The office is NASA's contribution to the U.S. Global Change Research Program ( USGCRP ), an interagency effort to understand the processes and patterns of global change. NASA is the largest partner in the USGCRP, providing the bulk of the program's space-based observational efforts. NASA has extensive collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on short-term climate event prediction. The Earth Observing System ( EOS ), the centerpiece of the office of Earth Science, is a program of multiple spacecraft and interdisciplinary science investigations to provide a data set of key parameters needed to understand global climate change. The first EOS satellite launches began in 1999.
Public Use Of Earth And Space Science Data Over The Internet development of innovative applications of US earth and space science Remote Sensing fordemonstrating, testing, and facilitating the first two activities. http://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/rsd/CAN1.html
Extractions: This NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) solicits proposals from all sources for 1) development of innovative applications of U. S. Earth and space science Remote Sensing DataBases via computer networks; 2) development of Digital Library technology focused on addressing the long-term scale-up requirements for the applications in 1); and 3) the establishment of a Remote Sensing Public Access Center for demonstrating, testing, and facilitating the first two activities. The intent of this solicitation is to stimulate broad public use, via the Internet, of the very large remote sensing databases maintained by NASA and other agencies to stimulate U.S. economic growth, improve the quality of life, and contribute to the implementation of a National Information Infrastructure. The actual funding mechanisms allowed under this CAN may be either grants or cooperative agreements. The determining factor for the appropriate funding vehicle is the general level of involvement on the part of NASA in the effort. Most large awards under this solicitation will be cooperative agreements.
