It's about TIMED: APL's Education and Public Outreach Initiative

The Laboratory's education and public outreach (E/PO) campaign, TIMED: A Mission to Explore One of the Last Frontiers in Earth's Atmosphere, was developed to fulfill two missions: (1) NASA's requirement that E/PO is to be a significant component of agency-supported activities, and (2) APL's commitment to education. Both NASA and the Laboratory believe that they have an important role in enhancing the space science knowledge of students, teachers, and the general public. This article presents the many avenues used by APL to inspire students of all ages to learn about and become involved in the exploration of space.
