This cache is a mystery cache in the NASA Program series of caches.
If you accept this mystery, which you will, you must become a
“rocket scientist” and solve the problems associated with this
mystery. To solve the mystery, you must navigate through the entire
series of NASA Program caches collecting clues from each mission.
The clues are integers written in the cover of each NASA Program
Caches. Our goal was to provide a positive caching opportunity that
is kid friendly as well as an experience that would be ideal for
introducing new geocachers to the experience. We feel this series
is best solved by starting at the Big Falls County Park (South
Side) parking lot (parking fee required) and finding the caches by
going in a clockwise direction. All the caches are within
approximately 40 feet of the trail. Most are closer.
To complete this series, you will walk approximately 2 ½ miles
most of which is on fairly good trails. We hope you enjoy this
series as much as we enjoyed setting it!
Constellation is a human spaceflight program within NASA, the
space agency of the United States. The stated goals of the program
are gaining significant experience in operating away from Earth's
environment, developing technologies needed for opening the space
frontier and conducting fundamental science. Constellation was
developed through the Exploration Systems Architecture Study, which
determined how NASA would pursue the goals laid out in the Vision
for Space Exploration and the NASA Authorization Act of 2005.
As part of the Constellation program, NASA plans to develop
spacecraft and booster vehicles to replace the Space Shuttle and
send astronauts to the Moon and possibly to Mars as well.
Currently, NASA is in the process of designing two boosters, the
Ares I and Ares V. Ares I will have the sole function of launching
mission crews into orbit. Ares V will be designed to launch other
hardware for use on missions and will have a heavier lift capacity
than the Ares I booster. In addition to these two boosters, NASA is
designing a set of other spacecraft for use during Constellation.
These will include the Orion crew capsule, the Earth Departure
Stage and the Altair lunar lander.
To obtain the coordinates to find this cache, you must solve the
following Rocket Scientist Problem:
