The Phoenix Mars Mission, scheduled for launch in 2007, is the first in NASA's "Scout Program." Phoenix is specifically designed to measure volatile (especially water) and complex organic molecules in the arctic plains of Mars. An integral component of the Phoenix Mission is its Education and Public Outreach (EPO) program. Just as the mission will further our scientific and technological understanding by exploring the artic plains of Mars, the Phoenix EPO program endeavors to inspire, excite, encourage, and nurture the exploration of questions from students and the public about Mars, the Solar System, and space exploration. In this way, the Phoenix EPO program is designed to augment the overall mission, where the goals of the EPO program directly flow from the mission objectives and are intended to (1) pioneer innovative or (2) enhance existing outstanding educational and outreach materials. The Phoenix EPO goals are also aligned with policies from NASA's Office of Space Science, the Mars Public Engagement Plan, and national education reform efforts. To ensure program goals are being met, independent evaluation is a key element of the Phoenix EPO effort. By having goals at the center of its EPO program, the Phoenix Mission strives toward providing a high-value contribution to NASA's educational enterprise and the nation's scientific literacy.
