Did you know . . .

that the International Space Station will be larger than a football field when completed?

that if you could see as well as the Hubble Space Telescope you would be able to read the fine print on a newspaper 1 mile away?

that scientists have been able to watch two giant "white oval" storms on Jupiter, each about half the size of Earth, colliding and merging to form an even bigger storm?

that each of the Mars Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) has 9 "eyes" -- 4 engineering Hazard Avoidance cameras (Hazcams), 2 Navigation cameras (Navcams), 2 Science Panoramic cameras (Pancams), and one Science Microscopic Imager?

The NASA Speakers Bureau can provide knowledgeable speakers to attend your conference or event and tell you about these subjects and many other wondrous aspects of the United States space program.

The bureau is comprised of NASA scientists, engineers, managers, and many others from Centers throughout the country. They volunteer, taking time from their work schedules to address the public. Our audiences range from the very young to the elderly, professional and technical organizations, government agencies, civic and social groups, the educational community, and more.

Contact the NASA center designated for your state to request a speaker. You can also request a speaking appearance by a NASA astronaut.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We request that you allow as much lead time as possible prior to your event for us to locate an appropriate, available speaker preferably 6 to 8 weeks. Available NASA Speakers are provided at no charge. They may not accept outside compensation or honoraria, but travel costs for speaking engagements requiring out-of-town travel (over 50 miles) and/or overnight accommodations are usually borne by the requesting organization. NASA Speakers may not participate in events promoting commercial products, fundraisers, or in which any group has been unlawfully segregated or excluded on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. When requesting a speaker, please specify the desired topic, date and time of the event, location, and a brief description of your organization. Also include the name, telephone number and mailing address of a point of contact.
