Outreach Activities:
To meet NASA's charter objective of
communicating the goals and results of scientific investigations to the citizens of
the U.S., the fundamental physics team at JPL takes an active role in outreach
activities. Members of the team prepare demonstrations of materials at low
temperature for display at schools, fairs, and at other public forums. During the
annual JPL Open House, visitors are shown displays describing the flight experiments
and demonstrations of weightless behavior. As well, investigators in the fundamental
physics program are encouraged to speak to schools and other organizations, and to
employ radio and television to inform the public about the experiments they intend to
perform in space.
