The McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences is a consortium of Washington University faculty, research staff and students from the departments of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering. The Center exists to encourage collaborative research efforts among scientists working on space science problems and projects that span traditional departmental lines. The "Mac Center," as it is called, fosters this type of endeavor through the sponsorship of cooperative research and through formal activities such as the Visiting Scientist Program.

| Unexpectedly, the mars rovers are still going strong
New York Times March 22, 2005 -- Nearly a year past its planned three-month lifetime, the Mars rover Spirit has found itself rejuvenated and is now making some of its most significant discoveries about Mars' waterlogged past. Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, on the other side of Mars, have continued working so well that managers have requested that the mission be extended up to another 18 months. WUSTL earth and planetary sciences professor Ray Arvidson comments. He is a member of the NASA science team. |
