Students - Name The Mars Rovers!!!

[dlavery]

In the summer of 2003, NASA will launch two robotic Mars Exploration Rovers that will land on the Red Planet in January 2004. Students in grades K-12 throughout the United States are invited to submit names for these rovers. To enter the contest, think of names for one or both of the rovers, and submit an essay explaining why those names should be chosen for the rovers. The winner will earn a special place in space exploration history, as they determine the name of this historic pair of robotic explorers. The winner will also be invited to the launch of the first rover spacecraft from the Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in May, 2003. For more information, see the Name The Rovers Website. The entry deadline is January 31, 2003!

(Look for a full-scale model of the rover at the party at Dean Kamen's house the evening before the 2003 Competition kick-off!)
