This project supports the communications and outreach efforts of NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. These efforts include the creation of outreach materials by Aurore Simonnet for each mission as well as special materials to be printed in honor of Fermi's 20th launch anniversary on June 11, 2028 which will occur during the proposal period. Funding for international travel to the 20th anniversary of Swift meeting in March 2025 is also budgeted, along with travel to a similar meeting for Fermi or the 12th and 13th International Fermi Symposia. Website improvements or special pages for Fermi's 20th anniversary are also budgeted, with work by Troy Wilson and Aurore Simonnet.
