Apply for the 2009 Weightless Flights of Discovery Program

The Northrop Grumman Corporation Foundation is accepting teacher
applications for the 2009 Weightless Flights of Discovery program, an
initiative that places teachers on micro- and zero-gravity flights to test
Newton's Laws of Motion and energize students in the formative middle-school
years.

Middle-school math and science teachers in public schools are welcome to
apply for the program at http://www.northropgrumman.com/teachers. The
Foundation has selected four locations for this year's flights:

Albuquerque, N.M. (Sept. 22)
Detroit (Sept. 24)
Norwalk, Conn. (Sept. 29)
Washington, D.C. (Oct. 2)


A maximum of 30 teachers in each of the cities will participate. The
deadline to apply is April 30, 2009.
