Chandra is one of NASA's four great observatories, along with the Gamma Ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the recently launched Spitzer Space Telescope. Since its launch in July 1999, Chandra has been re-writing the textbooks on X-ray astronomy. The daily science and mission operations for this great observatory are performed right here in Cambridge. Participants will meet in the lobby of NE-80 a few minutes before the hour, and will be escorted into a secure area by the tour leader.
