Learn about NASA’s Phoenix Mission to Mars
-
- November

If you’re interested in the space program or Mars, you’ll want to attend this lecture next week at Rockland Community College.
Ken Kremer, a research scientist and volunteer with NASA’s Jet Propoulsion Laboratory Solar System Ambassador Program (why do I think his business card must be double-length?), will be giving a lecture on the Phoenix’s mission to Mars at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21.
RCC says there will be “spectacular” 3-D images from the planet surface and Kremer, who is also a journalist, will show “custom Martian photo mosaics” he created days after Phoenix made planetfall for the June 9 cover of Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine, as well as other photo mosaics he created from throughout the mission for Spaceflight magazine.
Kremer also was the source of the Astronomy Picture of the Day for June 12. (Warning before going to the site — you could lose a good five or six hours if you’re an astronomy buff but have never been to APOD before!)
Anyhow, the lecture will be in Room 8189 (Ellipse) of RCC’s Technology Center, 145 College Road. It’s free and open to the public. If you want to know more, e-mail science Prof. Saeed Safaie at ssafaie@sunyrockland.edu or call 845-574-4534.
