Presentations are being posted here:
http://hirise.seti.org/MSL_Landing_Sites/ At the outset of the meeting, the attendees were told that all presentations would be posted UNLESS speakers specifically requested that they not be. So you know who the "bad guys" are EDIT: Here's a gem from the Watkins and Steltzner engineering constraints presentation (which is a monstrous 25 MB but is packed with interesting info): this image of the backshell was on a slide titled "We are big." No kidding. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

The report from the second day of activities is already available at spacEurope.
Looks like there is the the possibility of MSL may be sending our regards to Opportunity personally... "After the layered deposits session, the next talks looked specifically at the region around Meridiani/MER-B (generally because of the possibility for safely landing in this area of Mars. Of particular interest to the audience were sites around the margin of the MER Opportunity stratigraphic stack where evidence for phyllosilicates have been observed. Often the only /geomorphic/ evidence for water having been there are inverted features, however, which makes arguments for clear habitable context difficult. Nonetheless, the votes from the audience seem to suggest to me that at least one of the Meridiani sites is likely to get through ("East Meridiani")." -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
