MOONLINK
Internet Based Classroom Modules

Moonlink, a division of headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has developed a series of Internet based classroom modules that allow students to follow the Lunar Prospector mission and act out various mission scenarios from their classrooms. It includes an interactive mission simulation with real data acquisition, research on a location of the Moon that they select, collaboration with students and researchers from around the world; and classroom activities supported by a standards-based curriculum and educational materials.

Students assume mission roles such as Principal Investigator, Mission Controller, Public Affairs Officer and others to experience space science in depth.

An active sponsorship program exists to support participation at schools.
