The University of Arizona will open a new Mars Lounge dedicated to its Phoenix Mars Mission during Family Weekend this Sunday, October 21 at 1 p.m. in the UA Student Union Memorial Center. A large landing clock will also be unveiled by the mission's Principal Investigator, Peter Smith, in the Student Union rotunda.
This lounge was designed to give students, faculty, staff, and visitors a glimpse into what UA scientists have contributed to this first mission of NASA's Mars Scout Program through a collection of images and multimedia presentations.
Arizona State Unions and the UA Alumni Association have generously donated this space for the next eight months as the Phoenix Mars Lander cruises and then lands on the Red Planet.
