MEMO:
TO: Rick Koch
FROM: Mary Jo Joiner
DATE: August 27, 2013
SUBJECT: NASA Space Science Program Training
Kyrstin Floodeen, our Children's Library Assistant applied for a special training program
"It's a New Moon" sponsored by NASA for librarians and her application was accepted.
Attendance was limited to 40 participants with only 30 of those receiving the stipend to
cover the costs of attending.
Kyrstin will be at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to see the LADEE Mission
Launch on September 5 -6, 2013. She will also get a VIP tour of the facility.
NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Duse Environment Explorer ( LADEE) is a robotic
mission that will orbit the moon to gather detailed information about the lunar
atmosphere, conditions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust.
The training includes instructions and ideas for hands -on activities for presenting space
science programs to young audiences and families. She will receive activity guides, and
programming resources to bring back to the library. This is an opportunity for her to
collaborate with other public library staff from around the country and educators to
become part of a growing Explore community.
