You can be a Red Rover Goes to Mars Student Astronaut!
http://planetary.org/rrgtm/studast.html
The Planetary Society--the largest space interest group on Earth--is
searching for an international team of students to participate with the
Mars Exploration Rover Mission team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, California during mission operations in early 2004. You can
apply to be part of this first-ever public opportunity to participate in
the inner workings of a NASA mission to Mars!
Student Astronauts
The Student Astronaut team will analyze Mars Exploration Rover mission
images and data as they are returned to Earth from the spacecraft in
January and February of 2004, and communicate to the world about the
images and about life inside mission operations. Each Student Astronaut
will spend approximately one week in mission operations at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory and will be among the first to see these new
pictures from Mars.
Red Rover Goes to Mars marks the first time that the world's public has
been invited to compete for the opportunity to work inside NASA mission
operations while the mission is underway. To prepare for their
participation in the Mars Exploration Rover missions, Student Astronauts
will be trained by The Planetary Society in Mars science, digital image
processing, and mission operations during the months preceding their
arrival in Pasadena. Training will involve interaction with scientists and
engineers working on the Mars Exploration Rover mission. The Planetary
Society's Red Rover Goes to Mars project is sponsored by the LEGO Company.
