P31H:
The Use of Analog Environments in Preparing for the Exploration and Characterization of Planetary Surfaces I Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 49542

Session Description:
It has long been established that terrestrial analog environments are useful in preparing for future planetary surface exploration. Analog sites provide a platform for understanding Solar System processes, technology and procedure development for future exploration, and astronaut crew training. This session will focus on this wide range of uses for terrestrial analog sites in preparation for the exploration of other planetary surfaces. Remote sensing, modeling, field, and laboratory studies are welcome, as are studies that focus on the human or robotic exploration of other planetary bodies. Scientific, operational, and technologic abstracts are encouraged.
