NASA Resources for Educators

·CORE (Central Operation of Resources for Educators) was established for the national and international distribution of NASA - produced educational materials in audiovisual format: http://spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov/CORE/,  e-mail:

·ERC (Educator Resource Center Network) contains a wealth of information for educators: publications, reference books, slide sets, audio cassettes, videotapes, computer programs, lessons plans, and teacher guides with activities. Teachers may preview, copy, or receive NASA materials at this sites. Each NASA Field Center has its own areas of expertise.
· RERCs (Regional Educator Resource Centers) offer more educators access to NASA educational materials. NASA has formed partnerships with universities , museums, and other educational institutions to serve as RERCs in many states. A complete list of RERCs is available through CORE, or electronically via NASA Space link.
· NASA On-line Resources for Educators provide current educational information and instructional resource materials to teachers, faculty, and students. A wide range of information is available, including science, math, engineering, and technology education lesson plans, historical information related to the aeronautics and space program. Access these resources at:http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/codef/education/ or

· NTV (NASA Television) offers the public a front row seat for informational and educational programming, historical documentaries, and updates on the latest developments in aeronautic and space science.

SOHO - Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO - Solar and Heliospheric Observatoryis a sophisticated spacecraft built and run by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). Many other institutions in the U.S. and Europe were involved with the development and operation of the 12 instruments on board. SOHO, launched in December 1995, will observe the Sun and the solar wind for at least two years. SOHO is one of ESA and NASA's most ambitious projects for the 1990's. It will help us to understand the interactions between the Sun and Earth's environment better than has been possible to date. It may enable scientists to solve some of the most perplexing riddles about the Sun, including the physical conditions of the solar interior, the heating of the solar corona, and the acceleration of the solar wind. It is giving solar physicists their first long term, uninterrupted view of the mysterious star that we call Sun. That view of the Sun is achieved by operating SOHO from a permanent vantage point 1.5 million kilometers toward the Sun in a halo orbit the first Lagrangian point(L1), where the Sun's and Earth's gravitational forces are equal. SOHO's progresses and connections to other servers could be found at:http://sohowww.nasacom.nasa.gov  or http://sohowww.nasacom.nasa.gov/explore.
