Dear Space Enthusiasts,
As coordinators of 2008 World Space Week events in your country, I thought you might be interested in representing your country or region for the Fall 2009 International Cassini Scientist for a Day essay contest. It's a great opportunity for students to learn about Saturn and practice writing essays. The contest deadline is September 30, 2009, just a few days before World Space Week.
Best wishes,

Dear Space Enthusiasts,
In celebration of the Cassini spacecraft’s extended mission orbiting Saturn and the International Year of Astronomy, the Fall 2009 edition of the Cassini Scientist for a Day essay contest is going to be INTERNATIONAL. In the past, this contest has only been open to students from the United States. With your help, we’d like to invite students from many other countries to participate.
Winners will be invited to submit questions about the Cassini mission to international Cassini scientists who will be attending the Cassini Project Science Group meeting at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in October 2009.
Contest rules for the previous version of the contest can be found here:
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/education/scientistforaday7thedition/rules/
Students in grades 5-12 (approximately ages 10-18) will be invited to write a 500-word essay about one of three possible targets the Cassini spacecraft will image on October 11, 2009.
Here’s where we need your help:
We need national or regional coordinators for the essay contest. You would advertise the contest, collect essays from students in your country or region, assemble a team of judges to read the essays, and send the best essay(s) from your country to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
To sign up:
Send an e-mail to scientis...@jpl.nasa.gov with “International CSFAD” in the subject line, and include your name, e-mail address, space background, and country or region you would like to represent. If other people from your country have already expressed an interest in coordinating the essay contest, we will put you in touch with them so you can work together.
We hope to get as many countries as possible involved in this contest. We look forward to your participation.
Best wishes,
