JASON Expedition: Mysteries of Earth and Mars
Mysteries of Earth and Mars will look at Mars analogs, or locations on Earth where environmental conditions, geologic features, or biologic attributes resemble those thought to exist on Mars, now or at some point in its past. It will also examine the role that water plays in shaping life on Earth and apply that knowledge to the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. Lastly, the expedition will explore the cutting edge research and technology that goes into a robotic mission to Mars, the efforts to one day send humans to Mars, and the people who are helping to make these dreams a reality.
