scientists want to use all ofl

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.
