Goddard Space Act Agreement Keeps Remote Sensing Earth Science
Teacher Program Aloft GREENBELT, Md. -- A Space Act Agreement
signed between NASA’s Remote Sensing Earth Science Teacher
Program (RSESTeP) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA)
will allow certified Earth science teachers nationwide to
continue to bring NASA Remote Sensing resources into their
classrooms. RSESTeP, located at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight
Center, provides science teachers the opportunity to expose
students in 4th through12th grades to NASA cutting edge
resources and technologies. Members of the AMA can now partner
with local schools to fly NASA remote sensing payloads,
collecting Earth science data needed to complete classroom
projects. “The collaboration with the AMA will significantly
pave the road to expanding NASA’s RSESTeP program to many more
schools around the country,” said Patrick Coronado, NASA RSESTeP
Project Manager. Each year, teachers submit ideas for local
Earth science missions to RSESTeP. Those selected are invit
