16 Scientific expeditions are organized to engage students with awesome rare exotic events - Super rare: Venus transits (not anymore in our lifetime) - Mildly Rare: Mercury transits - Normal Rare BUT AWE: solar eclipses
17 EXPEDITIONS EVENTS main parts (1/2) (1) Interactive LIVE transmission: - Live images via ESAC servers in the web - LIVE hangout with presentations from experts and LIVE connections to expeditions
18 EXPEDITIONS EVENTS main parts (2/2) (2) Creation of Offline Science Cases for students
19 CESAR SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS GOALS - Expeditions are organized not just for obtaining the scientific data used in the cases for the classroom activities - They serve mainly to engage students with appealing, RARE awesome EVENTS LIVE - Events are interactive: students can Q&A with the experts - They can be followed from the School University in a special event: the team will connect with them in the live transmission - In the future we want students to be active part of the team: - prepare them via specific training courses - come along and have their own instruments in charge
20 CESAR EXPEDITIONS COLLABORATION - Promote ESA science satellite projects - Venus Express - Solar Orbiter - Proba 2 Proba 3 - Bepi Colombo - ESA communications - ESAC Comms Intranet, Press - ESTEC Comms ESA main portal, ESA TV, Science Image of the Week - Support from local hosts - ESO, Paranal - NASA Canberra Deep Space Network - Izana Observatory Teide, Canary Islands - Casper University - Education with - ESA Education Office ESTEC (science cases)
