NASA's Urgency for Mars Exploration Leads to Idaho Scientists' Involvement
NASA is feeling the urgency to get to Mars, and Idaho scientists are contributing to the mission. This is the first time that Idaho scientists have taken part in a mission to explore the Red Planet, and their research is expected to have a major impact on our understanding of the planet. The research team is headed by Dr. Michael Meyer, a professor at Idaho State University, and includes seven graduate and undergraduate students from across the state. The team is focused on understanding the weather and climate of Mars, and how it impacts the exploration and colonization of the planet. Their research will help us better understand the Martian environment and its potential for human habitation. This is an important step towards realizing NASA’s goal of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s. Stay tuned for more updates from Idaho’s scientists as their mission progresses!
