Geocaching in Space – The Interactive Event Map

 

WeeklyMailer_100713_GeocachingInSpace_vFINAL_blog (1)More than 1,100 Geocaching in Space Event Caches will dot the globe on November 6 and 7. Geocaching in Space events can be found in more than 40 countries and in the world’s most remote locations, like Easter Island and inside the Arctic Circle.

Each event commemorates the launch of a Geocaching Travel Bug® as it  journeys to the International Space Station. Astronaut Rick Mastracchio will use the Travel Bug as a tool to teach students back on Earth about geography and science. He’s scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan in the early morning of November 7, which will be November 6 in much of the rest of the world.
