NASA has chosen 28 specialists as
partaking researchers for the Curiosity Mars wanderer mission, including six
newcomers to the meanderer's science group. The six new increases work in
Alabama, Colorado, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Tennessee. Eighty-nine
researchers around the globe submitted research proposition for utilizing
information from Curiosity and getting to be taking an interest researchers on
the Mars Science Laboratory Project, which manufactured and works the wanderer.
The 28 chose by NASA are a piece of a science group that additionally
incorporates around 120 different individuals, mostly the essential specialists
and co-agents for the meanderer's 10 science instruments, in addition to around
320 science-group colleagues, for example, the examiners' partners and
understudies. An underlying gathering of Mars Science Laboratory taking an
interest researchers was picked before Curiosity's 2012 arriving on Mars, and a
few of those researchers were chosen again in the most recent round. Taking
part researchers on the mission assume dynamic parts in the everyday science
operations of Curiosity, including substantial connection with wanderer
specialists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. JPL
deals with the mission for NASA. The six taking an interest researchers who are
new to the mission are: Barbara Cohen, of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center,
Huntsville, Alabama; Christopher Fedo of the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville; Raina Gough of the University of Colorado, Boulder; Briony Horgan of
Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana; Christopher House of Pennsylvania
State University, University Park; and Mark Salvatore of the University of
Michigan, Dearborn. Seven other recently chose taking an interest researchers
have taken an interest in the Curiosity mission already in different parts:
Christopher Edwards, U.S. Land Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona; Abigail Fraeman,
JPL; Scott Guzewich, Universities Space Research Association, Greenbelt,
Maryland; Craig Hardgrove, Arizona State University, Tempe; Amy McAdam, NASA
Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland; Melissa Rice, Western
Washington University, Bellingham; and Kathryn Stack Morgan, JPL. Fifteen
analysts who had been chosen already as Mars Science Laboratory taking an
interest researchers were chosen again in this round: Raymond Arvidson,
Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri; John Bridges, University of
Leicester, United Kingdom; Bethany Ehlmann, California Institute of Technology,
Pasadena; Jennifer Eigenbrode, NASA Goddard; Kenneth Farley, Caltech; John
Grant, Smithsonian Institution, Washington; Jeffrey Johnson, Johns Hopkins
University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland; Richard Léveillé,
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Kevin Lewis, Johns Hopkins
University; Scott McLennan, State University of New York, Stony Brook; Ralph
Milliken, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island; John Moores, York University,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada; David Rubin, University of California, Santa Cruz;
Mariek Schmidt, Brock University, St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada; Rebecca
Williams, Planetary Science Institute, Madison, Wisconsin. /Nasa.Gov orginal
