| 3. SPACE ASTRONOMY SUMMER PROGRAM AT STScI. |
|
Each summer, the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) runs a ``Space Astronomy Summer Program" (SASP). STScI is the scientific operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope and the future James Webb Space Telescope. The SAS Program runs from mid-June to mid-August, and is designed for upper division undergraduates (and early postgraduates) with a strong interest in space astronomy. Students work individually with STScI researchers and staff on research projects that might include data reduction and interpretation, software development, scientific writing, preparing data for public releases. The program affords students the opportunity to attend lectures on a variety of exciting topics related to space astronomy, the Hubble, and James Webb Space Telescopes. The application submission will open on Wednesday, January 02, 2013. For more information, please visit:
