Members learning about spectral measuring which will be used on the Chandrayaan lunar mission

Members posing in front of a model of a satellite that will be used to map saturns moons

Learning about the Juno mission to Jupiter

Photo Op - satellite in orbit

JPL provided a lot of informative handouts and even trading cards of Saturns moons

The Dawn mission is to characterize the early solar system flying by Mars on its way to Vesta, and Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter

Photo Op - members asked JPL scientists many questions

Many of the scientists and engineers have PHD degrees

They are all extremely interested in their work

There is something at JPL or NASA for everyone

On our way into the fabrication clean room area to see how the electronics are made

Learning about robotics

Several of the Mars rover models were on display - we coudl even "drive" one of them

We can thank the space program for the tiny circuitry in most of the electronics we take for granted today

The JPL "enose" can sniff out harmful chemicals - it can even tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi

These rockets are a little larger than the ones we launch

The members wanted to bring this one home

In line for the Deep Space Control room
