LET'S EXPLORE THE VIABILITY FOR THE HUMAN SURVIVAL IN MARS!
With the production of the Martian movie, teachers, students and academia all over the world have an opportunity to join KSCIA's quest to educate by discovering and mapping Mars.
Mars orbiters have sent back over half a million images, and new data comes in all the time. However, no GPS exists at Mars! That means images are almost-but not quite-mapped to their correct position.
Like explorers of old who charted the unfamiliar contours of Earth, you can be a part of this age of exploration by helping create the most accurate Mars map in history, at increasingly higher resolutions. It's never been done before! Your participation will allow everyone to look more easily for surface changes on Mars over time and to create seamless, "deep zoom" adventures for all.
Did you know that Craters act as time stamps: older surfaces have more craters, and often numerous smaller ones too. Mars geologists have only determined relative ages of a very few places on Mars, because the sheer number of craters makes counting them all an enormous effort, worthy of shared global participation! You can help provide accurate ages of small regions (the flanks of a single volcano or the floor of a river channel) that may be very important to our understanding of past Martian environments-and maybe even provide clues to whether-and when!-Mars ever had environments capable of supporting small life forms called microbes.
