Abstract
The Curiosity Rover of Mars Science Laboratory has been successfully exploring Gale Crater since 2012 and Professor John Bridges has been a Participating Scientist throughout its mission. The mission has changed our understanding of martian geological evolution and helped define the aims of future Mars exploration including Mars Sample Return. This talk discusses some of our key discoveries and challenges of operating a rover on Mars together with the significance of planning for the NASA -ESA Mars Sample Return programme.
Series This talk is part of the Sedgwick Club talks series.
