PASADENA, Calif. - Don't worry if you can't attend this year's annual
Open House at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. - just
throw on your fuzzy slippers, switch on your computer and join us for a
live video stream and chat.
The event, from JPL's mission control and other key locations, will give viewers the opportunity to chat live with scientists and engineers. It will air on the "NASAJPL" channel available on Ustream TV at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasajpl on Saturday, May 2, starting at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT and 17:00 UTC).
JPL's annual Open House gives the public an opportunity to meet scientists, watch demos and tour some of the laboratories where the next planetary and Earth-monitoring missions are being designed and built.
A live video chat will be held at the top of each hour for about 20 minutes on these topics / locations:
10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT and 17:00 UTC): Mars Rovers
