NASA Invites Social Media Fans to
Mars Landing Event
WASHINGTON -- NASA will host a
3-day NASA Social for 25 of its social media followers Aug. 3-5 at the agency's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. The NASA Social is scheduled
to culminate in the landing of the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover at
Mars' Gale crater. The landing is anticipated at approximately 1:31 a.m. EDT
Aug. 6.
The event will offer people who engage with NASA through
Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other social networks the opportunity to tour
JPL, speak with scientists and engineers, participate in news conferences and,
if all goes as planned, be at the media site when the first signal of the
rover's landing is detected by JPL mission control. The event also will provide
participants the opportunity to interact with fellow tweeps, space enthusiasts
and members of NASA's social media team.
During the 2-year prime
mission, Curiosity will investigate whether the selected area of Mars offered
environmental conditions favorable for microbial life or if evidence of it
existed.
JPL has 23 spacecraft and 10 instruments conducting active
missions of exploration of Earth, the solar system and the universe beyond.
These ventures, including Voyager, Cassini and the Opportunity Mars rover, are
enabled by NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). Managed by JPL, the DSN is an
international network of antenna complexes for communications between spacecraft
and Earth-based teams that guide them. NASA Social guests will meet team members
from some of these missions and tour DSN mission control.
NASA Social
registration opens at noon EDT Wednesday, June 6, and closes at noon EDT Friday,
June 8. NASA will randomly select 25 participants from online registrations.
