Abstract:
On Sunday, 4 December, three free family events planned by AGU Education and Public Outreach will lead off this year's Fall Meeting. The events begin at noon with the public lecture, which, AGU is thrilled to announce, will be delivered by NASA astronaut Drew Feustel, who holds a Ph.D. in geophysics. In 2009, Feustel served on the crew of STS‐ 125, the final space shuttle mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, and, earlier this year, STS‐134, which traveled to the International Space Station (ISS). He served as the lead space walker during STS‐134; the mission delivered to ISS the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a state‐of‐the‐art cosmic ray particle physics detector designed to examine fundamental issues about matter and the origin and structure of the universe. He will speak about the Hubble STS‐125 mission and the STS‐134 mission, as well as about how his experiences as a geophysicist influenced his experiences as an astronaut.
