"Phoenix Mars Lander – Visualization of the Surface of Another Planet”
Kurt Schwehr, PhD
CCOM, Assistant Research Professor
Kurt spent two months this summer at the Phoenix Mars Lander Science Operation Center as the Deputy Manager of the Remote Operations and Collaboration (ROC) Center for NASA JPL and a member of the Solar System Visualization (SSV) group. He will talk about what it is like to work on a Mars mission and what goes into the data processing, computer vision, and visualization. Kurt has been a part of technology development for Mars exploration since the early 90’s and will talk about how field tests in places such as Antarctica, Yellowstone National Park, and the Canadian Arctic islands lead to effective use of technology to enable globally distributed science teams to control a spacecraft on another planet. Kurt has also been a science team member of the Mars Pathfinder, Mars Polar Lander, and Mars Exploration Rover (Spirit & Opportunity) missions.
