Geocache Description:


Photobucket

Next to the cache is a 7 story building. Located on the 7th floor of that building is the Chandra Operations Control Center. Chandra is a spaced-based X-Ray telescope that is making some pretty fascinating discoveries about our universe. The Operations Control Center is where the satellite is maintained using NASA's Deep Space Network. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is the organization responsible for processing and analyzing the science data collected by the satellite. Below are some links for more information:

Log only; bring your own pen.
Please make sure to note where the cache is (i.e. SEE it BEFORE you grab it) and put it back exactly as found. If this thing is moved an inch in the wrong direction it becomes nearly impossible to find.
Because of the buildings, GPS was bouncing a lot.
Google Maps show N 42° 21.935 W 071° 05.445 as being closer.

Congratulations to Casadelweber on being FTF!!
