[ISTA-talk]Free lecture Mars up close

[Brian Poelker]

A Close-up  Look at Mars

Dr. James Zimbelman, Smithsonian Center for Earth and Planetary Studies
Tuesday, Sept. 11.  7:00pm
Lakeview Museum in Peoria, Illinois
Free Presentation open to the public

Description:  The lecture reviews what we have learned about Mars both from early 
Earth-based telescopic studies and from early spacecraft missions, followed by the 
present view of the planet based on data returned by the Viking, Pathfinder, and Mars 
Global Surveyor missions.  This information provides the basis for current plans of 
the next spacecraft missions to Mars, hopefully leading to international piloted 
missions to the red planet.
