Mm rotates 39 minutes sloweriU Earth every day, making: Mars day 24 hours and 39mi[. I utes long. To keep the scitt. lists on schedule and alio, them to live on Mars tin; master watchmaker Gaii Anserlian of Executiu Jewelers in Montrose, Calif, created a Mars watch tb| Lemmon, along with theoflm team scientists, wears to knot what time it is on Man according to NASA. The two rovers are on oppo. site sides of Mars, so whileilj sun is powering one of them,! other is in darkness and rest! Scientists must work allhoursd the martian day to collect I maximum amount of datausii| the rovers. The Man Exploration Rover Mission sci enlists work long shifts, switch ing off only to eat and sleepfo a few hours. The mission will aid scientists in answering the age-old ques tion regarding past life on Man, "Ultimately, with this ani other missions, we wanttoknm if Mars was ever Earth-like ami capable of hosting life, or if it has always been a desert world" Lemmon said. This mission is important because it will change the way scientists study Mars. "The questions we art answering will shape alloftlii debates (about Mars) for a long time to come,” Lemmon said "The tests we are performing may show Mars was warm and wet for some time, or they may show that Mars still looks likes desert planet when you goto the places with the best evi dence for water.” The study of Mars is far from over. Many more mission are already in the works I continued study. Scientists® preparing to launch the Mars Reconnaissance Obiter m 2005 that will take high resolu tion pictures of Mars and study its climate, Lemmon said. Lemmon’s contribution to the study of Mars does not stop with the Spirit and Opportunity. He said he will also be responsible for operating the camera on the Phoenix spacecraft that will he launched in 2007 and will land on Mars in 2008. NASA is also planning to send a large rover to Mars and: communications satellite tooi Mars in 2009, Lemmon said. Tickets to Lemmon’s pres entation on the accomplish ments of the Mars rovers are on sale at the MSC Box Office and are $2 for students and $3 for non-students. Each person will be given a pair of 3-Dgog- gles to view the pictures of Mars that Lemmon will be dis playing. “This is, of course, an excit ing moment in the history of space exploration,” said Roland Allen, a professor of the A&M physics department “We are lucky that Marl Lemmon, who is also a Texas A&M scientist, is willing t» give this presentation.” Dave Casey, a sophomoti electrical engineering major said he is planning to attend thi conference. “If we are ever going to gel there we are going to need to know a lot more about Mars than we do now,” Casey said.
