Here's the program for the second landing site workshop (Word file). It should be very interesting.

There's also a chart they're going to use to sort out the science possibilities and safety issues for each site.
I'm planning on attending at least some of this meeting, but am not sure if I'll be able to go to the whole thing... --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

I don't suppose there's any chance that all the sessions will be recorded and made available for download somewhere on the web?

I think it's safe to say there is absolutely zero chance of that.

algorimancer : " I don't suppose there's any chance that all the sessions will be recorded and made available for download somewhere on the web?"
elakdawalla : " I think it's safe to say there is absolutely zero chance of that." I have to (sort of) disagree. Check out this link for the first workshop: http://marsoweb.nas.nasa.gov/landingsites/...op/program.html It's very likely that we will get exactly the same for the second. Not a recording, but the next best thing. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Jean-Pierre Bibring (OMEGA's PI) will focus his presentation on three specific locations:
Mawrth Vallis, Nili Fossae and Meridiani. He will try to convince the others that that geomorphological context is not sufficient enough for the choice of an MSL valuable site and that the choice must come also from additional mineralogical information (he gives emphasis to the phyllosilicates...). I'll try to get something more from inside... EDITED: Since I've invited Bibring to talk about what will he be doing at the workshop why not invite...everyone? Thomson (Gale Crater) and Hynek (East Meridiani) already showed up at this "gimme you best Mars!" kind of party, let's see if someone else follows them... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Horton Newsom is proposing a new site at the workshop and he has just e-mailed me a view of it...I especially like to imagine MSL roving along Adrian's Wall feature in the center...
The choice is going to be hard... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

I am not at Pasadena but my correspondant is...
Among other things he tells us the following, regarding the evaluations of yesterday's sites: "Eberswalde and Holden came out on top (beating Nili/Jezero crater by a single yellow vs green on preservation of biosignatures). Ritchey and Gale crater were rated lower (all yellows). It is worth noting that Eberswalde and Holden may be faced with a challenge regarding the thermal issue discussed earlier; and from my perspective, it seems likely that Eberswalde will eventually get eliminated on the inability to place a viable ellipse inside the crater." -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

The MEPAG site has added an interesting list of "Critical Data Products" for use in selecting the MSL landing site, at:
mepag.nasa.jpl.gov/cdp/index.html These look like they should link to text and images, but don't. Hopefully, the links will be added soon, as MEPAG traditionally has open access to all of their reports, studies, etc. |

Are you here today? I could look around the room, I suppose. ;oD -Tim. |

Hi Tim! Stayed home today -- I figured I could get the highlights of the site-by-site discussions from someone else -- but I'll be back Thursday to witness the bitter end.
