Free SpiritJoin us for the July general meeting of the San Diego Space Society. This month we’re featuring Gerry Williams from The Mars Society – San Diego, who will present “Invasion From Earth: The Robotic Exploration of Mars.”

Mars is becoming a busy place for exploration these days with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter achieving Martian orbit last year and the Mars Phoenix Lander dropping in on the north polar region on the surface of the red planet.  Mars Society members will look at all the different robotic craft and their missions, as well as the next several planned missions by all the spacefaring nations of Earth.

The talk will also include an update on the efforts at JPL to free the Spirit rover, which is currently stuck in deep sand.

Everyone is welcome. Email events@sdspace.org if you have any questions.
