Presented By: American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Todd Barber on the Curiosity Rover
Curiosity's mission to the red planet will be covered in detail by Todd Barber, a graduate of MIT and recipient of NASA's exceptional achievement award. Topics to be discussed include the history of Mars rovers at JPL, the scientific motivation for Curiosity, and the preparations for launch two days after Thanksgiving in 2011.
The science suite on board this one-ton mega rover will be presented, as well as the engineering challenges involved in getting Curiosity to the launch pad, traveling 352 million miles to Mars over 8.5 months, and ‘sticking the landing’ following the so-called ‘seven minutes of terror’ on August 5th, 2012.
Please join AIAA virtually for this event with an amazing speaker!
