Physics Colloquium, April 1, 2008
A Physicist on Mars Geoffrey A. Landis

NASA John Glenn Research Center

The Mars Exploration Rovers have now been exploring the surface of Mars for over four years, carrying a suite of physics-based instrumentation, including hyperspectral cameras, Mössbauer spectrometry, and alpha-induced x-ray fluorescence. This talk will discuss the Pathfinder and MER missions to Mars, where we are and what we are doing, and what we are doing next in Mars exploration.
