NASA : NASA's First Human Landing Sites/Exploration Zones on Mars Workshop Oct. 27-30 in Houston.- De la NASA Zonas Primeras Humanos sitios de alunizaje / Exploración en Marte Taller 10 27 al 30 en Houston

Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., Los sitios de alunizaje primeros de la NASA / Exploración Zonas Taller para misiones humanas a la superficie de Marte se llevarán a cabo 27 a 30 octubre en el Instituto Lunar y Planetaria en Houston. La agencia está organizando el taller para recoger propuestas de lugares en Marte que podrían ser de gran valor para la investigación científica y al mismo tiempo el suministro de recursos naturales para permitir que los exploradores humanos a la tierra, vivir y trabajar con seguridad en el planeta rojo.

Se espera que los primeros exploradores humanos en el viaje a Marte a ser muy móvil, con la capacidad de explorar largas distancias de su hábitat, una región que se llama una "Zona de Exploración". En las actividades actuales de planificación, la NASA asume un radio Zona de Exploración de aproximadamente 60 millas (100 km).

NASA's first Landing Sites/Exploration Zones Workshop for Human Missions to the Surface of Mars will be held Oct. 27-30 at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. The agency is hosting the workshop to collect proposals for locations on Mars that would be of high scientific research value while also providing natural resources to enable human explorers to land, live and work safely on the Red Planet.

The first human explorers on the journey to Mars are expected to be quite mobile, with the ability to explore long distances from their habitat, a region being called an "Exploration Zone." In current planning activities, NASA assumes an Exploration Zone radius of approximately 60 miles (100 km).

NASA plans to use existing assets at Mars, such as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and the Odyssey spacecraft, to support the selection process of potential Exploration Zones. However, the life expectancy of MRO and Odyssey are limited. NASA is eager to take advantage of the remaining operational years of those Martian imagers to gather high resolution maps of potential Exploration Zones while the spacecraft remain operational.

Starting at 2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. CDT) Tuesday, Oct. 27, the workshop will be webcast live via UStream at:
