Power Point Presentations and Digital Movies

Science and exploration are not static activities. A significant effort is constantly needed to keep material used in universities up-to-date. Thus, team scientists working with university faculty are designing new graphics and presentations to be used in classrooms. The Center for Lunar Science and Exploration will update and add resources to this page as new science and exploration concepts are developed.
