2008 Field Season Plans Shaping up for the HMP Research Station The Mars Institute has concluded its yearly goodwill visit to Inuit communities in the Canadian high arctic and has made them aware of our tentative plans for this summers deployment to the HMP Research Station on Devon Island. We're planning another exciting field campaign with researchers from several institutions as well the Canadian Space Agency. We're also hoping to have other space agencies collaborating as well. And we have a bonus this year, on August the 1st there will be a total solar eclipse and the HMP Research Station is directly in the path of totality so we should have an excellent viewing and research opportunity, weather permitting of course.

Conference to Discuss Exploration of the two Moons of Mars The Mars Institute is co-convening this week a unique scientific meeting titled "First International Conference on the Exploration of Phobos and Deimos: The Science, Robotic Reconnaissance, and Human Exploration of the Two Moons of Mars." The conference is being held at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. The meeting is bringing together scientists, engineers, space exploration professionals, and students from around the world to discuss over three intense days (5-7 Nov 2007) the exploration of Mars's two mysterious satellites and how their exploration relates to that of the Moon, Mars, small bodies, and the solar system beyond.
