AGU Public Lecture: How To Chose A Landing Site on Mars | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Today you know Mars to be a vast beautiful planet that in many ways is like the American Southwest. It has sweeping vistas and huge mountains with long and wide valleys. In its past Mars had an enormous ocean with a significant atmosphere and it is only by studying this planet on the surface that they will be able to unlock its past and understand how people will live and work on the Red planet in the future.

Finding the right landing sites for the robotic and human missions requires an extensive knowledge about the planet. The panel of experts will discuss “how on Earth” they find the right places to go to on Mars.
