Mars Weekend June 4, 2011

Meet researchers who work closely with NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to change how we look at the Universe.

Modern satellites orbiting the Moon and Mars are sending us
astonishingly detailed images of craters, canyons, gullies, and lava flows. What can these surface features tell us about the past and present, and what do they mean for future exploration by robots and humans? If we found evidence of life on Mars, what would it look like?

During this weekend event, drive model Mars rovers on real and virtual terrain, and try activities and games for adults and kids. Enjoy short presentations about planetary exploration by guest scientists from the University of Massachusetts, Boston, Ohio State University, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute.
