RICHARD ZUREK: EARTH ATTACKS! NEW RESULTS FROM THE PLANET MARS (GEOLOGY
& PLANETARY SCIENCE)
New Streaming Theater Presentation: In a Watson Lecture, JPL's
Richard Zurek, a project scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter mission, presented detailed images of the red planet's
atmosphere, surface, and subsurface, and discussed how missions to
Mars have changed our understanding of the planet's climate and
history. Starting with the 1996 launches of Mars Pathfinder and Mars
Global Surveyor, a diverse range of spacecraft have been placed in
Mars's orbit or landed on its surface, including the still-operating
Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance orbiters, the Mars Exploration
Rovers, and Europe's Mars Express orbiter.
