Hi,
I am going to talk to Joe tomorrow around 11 and see if we can do any
machining for Tuesday.

Hi All-
I don't know how many of you got this email, but it sounds really
interesting. I know it's during finals week, but this would be a good break
from studying! We would have to be at the museum at around 5:30 to get
tickets, but the event starts at 7pm. If you would like to go please email
me (scohen84@xxxxxx) and I'll try to get a place/time together to meet for
everyone.
Seth Scohen84@xxxxxx

Subject: Special Invitation to Attend Mars Lecture in Boston
The Planetary Society would like to invite you to attend a talk about the Mars Exploration Rovers on Wednesday, May 3, 2006 at the Boston Museum of Science. The speaker will be Cornell University Astronomy professor and Planetary Society board member Dr. Jim Bell.
Dr. Bell's talk is entitled "Postcards from Mars: The (endless?) Adventures of the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers." NASA successfully landed twin rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, on Mars in January 2004, in the most ambitious mission of robotic exploration ever attempted. Each rover is outfitted as a robot field geologist with an impressive array of scientific instruments -- cameras, spectrometers, and other sensors -- designed to investigate the composition and geologic history of two distinctly different landing sites. The sites were chosen because of their potential to reveal clues about the past history of water and climate on Mars, and thus to provide tests of the hypothesis that the planet may once have been an abode for life.
Jim Bell is the lead scientist responsible for the rovers' color imaging system called Pancam. In this presentation, Professor Bell will share his favorite images and stories from "inside" mission operations, and describe the major scientific findings made by each rover at each site during their adventures over more than two Earth years.
This free lecture will be held on
Wednesday, May 3, 2006, 7:00 p.m.
in the Cahners Theater, Boston Museum of Science, Museum of Science, Science Park, Boston, Massachusetts
General admission tickets are available on a first come, first served basis in the Museum of Science Main Lobby (Lowell Lecture ticket table), starting at 5:45 p.m. on May 3rd. For further information and directions to the Boston Museum of Science, please check at: http://www.mos.org/doc/1136#PostcardsfromMarsTheendlessAdventuresoftheSpirit andOpportunityRovers
We hope that you will be able to attend this interesting local event.
