Slide 1 of 2

A compelling image of an aurora from space creates a powerful visual impact for the site. An illustration showing the placement of the mission's probes and a count-down to launch, begin to convey the basic elements of this complex NASA science mission to the public.

NASA's THEMIS Mission will use five satellites to explore the forces which cause auroras (the Northern and Southern Lights.) Ideum worked closely with the Center for Science Education who are responsible for the education and public outreach efforts for this mission.

In designing and developing the THEMIS Education and Public Outreach site, templates were developed to allow CSE@SSL staff to easily update and modify pages through the THEMIS mission launch in 2007 and beyond. Ideum developed this site in 2002.
