Location: Room 308B

When the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) launches in 2006, scientists will gain a better understanding of space weather. This increase knowledge, will improve the warning time for massive solar storms that can harm astronauts, satellites, communication systems and even electric power grids on Earth. The two STEREO spacecraft will image the sun and its explosions in high-definition 3-D for the first time. In this workshop, reporters will learn about space weather and STEREO and can ask questions of experts on the latest advances in this field.

Participants:
Alex Young, STEREO Scientist, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
Jim Adams, STEREO Deputy Project Manager, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
