Educational Video

Our educational video/DVD, entitled "Building the Coolest X-ray Satellite," is now available. Development of the video and accompanying educator's guide has involved educators experienced in using video materials in the classroom. Aimed at a high school level audience, the video covers the history of the mission, including the building of the instruments, real scientists from around the world in action, and a look forward to the scientific results from Astro-E2.
