Explore Mars Lecture Tour 2004

Tour Poster

The Mars Institute is launching its first global Explore Mars Lecture Tour, a series of science talks and public lectures on Mars science and exploration, past, present and future, offered in support of Mars research worldwide and the continuation of the Mars Institute's research and education programs. The 2004 Tour will consist of four regional tours, beginning with a tour of the Asia-Pacific region in January, 2004 followed by the East and West coasts of North America in the Spring and Fall of 2004, and of Europe in the Fall of 2004.

Researchers from the Mars Institute will discuss ongoing progress in Mars science and exploration, from the latest advances in the robotic exploration of Mars to current renewed prospects for human missions to the Red Planet, in particular via analog research conducted here on Earth, in low Earth orbit, and perhaps soon again on the Moon.

Locations, times, titles and abstracts for the scheduled talks are available below with updates made as they become available.
