While the spacecraft are collecting data from Jupiter’s neighborhood, middle and high school students and their teachers will be observing the gas giant from Earth. These students will be participating in the Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) science education project, which is a partnership involving the Lewis Center for Educational Research (LCER) in Apple Valley, California, the Telecommunications and Mission Operations Director (TMOD) at JPL, and the Apple Valley Unified School District.
