Mapping Mars 2006

All except one of our experiments has been accepted by ASU, and hopefully we can get that one corrected by next week. The director has said that she will send us the targeting software next week. We must have our selections back to ASU by May 12th. Each team will be given one day to learn the software and do the targeting. That will happen either late in the week of May 1st, or early during the week of May 8th. This is a real stretch, but it's the only way that each of you can experience using the software, and I don't want you to miss out on that. The two dates will be the 10th and 11th of May. Ten computers will have the necessary software. The way we usually did this was to work in groups of two. That probably will be the plan this time also. I would like to have the "generalists" (those looking for a channel, crater, etc.) to go on the 10th, and the ones who already have a definite location, i.e. Alba Patera to go on the 11th. So far I see only one conflict with that because of the Jazz Band field trip. Let me know your feelings. I've added three PowerPoint presentations to the Index Page at http://www.gatesscience.info/teamescience/msipindex.htm It would really help if you went through these before you went to the computer lab. Click on each part and then either save them, if you want to look at them more than once, or open them to view the presentation.
