The Coalition for Space Exploration has a new digital look after giving their online home a makeover to better reach out to the public.

The coalition, a collaborative group of space advocacy and industry groups, overhauled its Web site to include lesson plans for educators, provide better access to industry experts and showcase new events and book releases on space-related issues, the group said.

“Our goal is to inspire our visitors about the wonder of space, educate them about the people and programs involved and equip them to share the benefits of space exploration,” Coalition chair Mary Engola said in a statement.

In addition to the spotlight on industry and education, the coalition also included sections on space-themed social networking, a look at the economic benefits of spaceflight and a special subsection for children.

And for you die-hard SPACE.com fans, you might just see a few familiar names tucked amid the coalition’s blog team, which includes SPACE.com special correspondent Leonard David and former Cape Canaveral bureau chief Jim Banke.
