MU-SPIN Update

Current goals are to: (1) Strengthen the science and engineering capabilities of MU-SPIN institutions in research and education via computer networks; (2) Involve and prepare minority institutions and principal investigators to successfully participate in competitive research and education processes via computer networks; and (3) Develop training and education mechanisms to support, sustain and evolve the institutional network infrastructure, thereby generating a better, prepared pool of candidates to contribute to NASA's missions.

Materials Presented at the MU-SPIN Eighth Annual User's Conference

The goal of NASA's many outreach programs is to promote to the general public an understanding of how NASA makes significant contributions to American education systems and to institutions dedicated to improving science literacy. This newsletter provides one vehicle for reporting how applications and hardware used for space science and other NASA research and development can be adapted for use by teachers and their students and by non-NASA organizations.
