The Mars Astrobiology Research and Technology Experiment Science Data Browser
July 3, 2008
The Mars Astrobiology Research and Technology Experiment (MARTE) is a field experiment in the NASA ASTEP program designed to search for a subsurface biosphere in the region of the Tinto River, located in the Iberian Pyrite belt, one of the largest deposits of sulphide minerals in the world.
We'll examine elements of the MARTE Science Data Browser (SDB) and how it prepared and assisted scientists in remote science observation and mission plan development.
