PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE "LIVE FROM ANTARCTICA 2" is supported in part
by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Polar Programs, with
satellite telecommunications made possible by NASA's ACTS Satellite
Experiments Program. The on-line and live video portions of
the field trip are partially underwritten by NASA and NSF
and are free to educators.

PBS Teacher Resource Services supports PTK with satellite
time and information and outreach services to PBS stations.
CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS FOR BOTH PBS AND NASA-TV CARRIAGE! PTK
cannot guarantee local broadcast schedules.
