MARS DESERT RESEARCH CENTER
Once again Veronica Ann Zabala-Aliberto, our National Space Society Projects and Events Coordinator and President of the Phoenix Chapter is going on a mission to Mars. She is taking command of what will be her last for the unit F.L.A.M.E. on Mars at the Mars Desert Research Station in Arizona.
As in her previous assignment she will be sending other spacers, around the globe, progress reports and is presently extending an invitation to participate in their mission.
As per Veronica Ann:
Good morning NSS Chapter Leaders,
I would like to inform you that I will be commanding another mission at the
Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) from March 1-16, 2008, and that I would
like to call on all NSS Chapter Leaders who are involved in education
outreach to contact your local Educators and EPO Representatives to let them
know of an excellent opportunity for "distance" outreach.
During the time that my crew and I are at the MDRS, Educators and Students
can e-mail the crew members questions on what life is like to "live, work
and play" on Mars. There are web-cams inside and outside of the Hab so we
are monitored 24 hours a day during our rotation.
If educators and students have a certain science project that they would
like for us to perform at the MDRS Science Laboratory, please inform them
that we are accepting proposals at this time.
All inquiries can be sent, via e-mail to me at: Veronica.Zabala@asu.edu If
there is a question for a specific crew member, please use my e-mail address
and in the subject line of the e-mail include the following nomenclature:
"MDRS:FLAME: Question for ?".
Since we are living on "Mars time" we will not be able to answer all
inquiries right away (especially when it takes roughly 49 minutes
for transmissions to get relayed from Earth to Mars and back again) and if
we are out on an EVA conducting field investigations.
To view our daily reports please go to: http://www.marssociety.org/mdrs/
To view our web-cams please go to: http://freemars.org/mdrscam/
This will be the last mission that of the Family Living Analysis on Mars
Expedition (F.L.A.M.E.) at the Mars Desert Research Station as we move on to
increase our situational awareness and training for other analogue regimes
in preparation for future missions.

Cheers,
Veronica Ann
