NASA is committed to helping develop and inspire the next generation of explorers, scientists, engineers, and researchers. Now NASA wants to involve YOU in the excitement of Mars exploration and discovery! The Athena Student Interns Program (ASIP) is a unique opportunity to become part of the Athena Science Team for the 2003-2004 Mars Exploration Rover Mission. From around the country, selected teachers and their chosen students will work with scientists to prepare for rover operations, analyze data during the mission, and reach out to other students, teachers, and the public through presentations, articles, and web sites. Following months of preparation and special training, teachers and students will spend one week in mission control during landed operations to help explore the surface of Mars. It could be you!

Remember: The most important requirements are
enthusiasm, excitement, and dedication!
