Tour of CPSX Mission Control for HiRISE

Scientists at the Centre for Planetary Science & Exploration (CPSX) are gearing up once again to help plan a 2-week set of HiRISE images starting this week (HiRISE is a high-resolution camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter – MRO).

This will be their 3^rd time leading the science-planning of HiRISE images from Canada, but it will mark the first time that it will be done in the new CPSX mission control facility housed in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

At 5:30 pm on Saturday, you can join a tour of the facility led by Earth Sciences Adjunct Research Professor Dr. Livio Tornabene (a veteran HiRISE Science team member).
