This Memorandum of Understanding (Rev. 2.1, 99/03/09) describes the interface between Live from Earth and Mars Educational Outreach Project of James E. Tillman, Research Professor, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, McClure School, Seattle WA and the McClure PTA, regarding the development of weather station installations and the exchange of Earth and Mars related educational resources, and meteorological data.

In conjunction with institutional, corporate, public, private and NetLander ATMIS team collaboration and support for this Educational program, Tillman and collaborators will:

• Develop collaboration and support to produce Earth and Mars based educational information and resources

• Develop new resources and materials and incorporate previously developed resources into this program

• Assist schools to obtain, install and operate weather stations and/or instruments for use in educational and research contexts

• Provide and install computer(s) and software at the school to acquire, display, process and distribute the weather, and ancillary, information in real time on a 24 hour/day basis, to our central site for archiving and use

• Produce and share with collaborators, descriptive reports and educational materials of the program and mission

• Process Mars data from the NetLander program as received on Earth

• Extract meteorological data from NetLander, and other missions of opportunity, in as near real time as possible, like our Pathfinder "Live from Mars" program

• Disseminate information via the Internet and web to collaborating schools, institutions, and museums

• Produce public web displays

• Facilitate and encourage the school to school distribution and exchange of other digital products that do not significantly impact the primary infrastructure purpose

• Interact with other components of the program, to expedite mutually beneficial exchanges of background information, experience and resources.

In conjunction with the LFEM program, SCHOOL will:

• Collaborate in the acquisition, installation, and operation of weather station system as specified in the LFEM station description

• Collaboratively obtain funds for purchase of instruments, sensors and associated data loggers

• Maintain the Standard released and tested software and infrastructure, (including system log books, descriptive documents, files, and web pages), provided by LFEM for acquisition, processing, storage and relay

• Acquire and process weather data with LFEM provided software

• Transfer the data to LFEM for archiving and school access in real time

• Collaborate with other K-12 schools to compare results, exchange ideas and develop materials

• Collaborate in mutually beneficial testing and development of new information, infrastructure, materials, resources and software for the program within the resources available or provided
