EXPLORATION STRATEGY TEAM MEETING
SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 1997

In large part due to the results of recent scientific discoveries about Mars and the Moon, NASA is again considering strategies and approaches to exploration that would lead to human missions to Mars as early as the second decade of the 21st Century. A concerted effort is now being made by a JPL/JSC exploration strategy team jointly to integrate robotic and human exploration strategies. On Sunday afternoon, March 16, members of the exploration strategy team will present the current planning framework and some of the mission opportunities that are being investigated to interested members of the scientific community. The exploration strategy team is also interested in beginning a dialog with the university community with regard to the best ways of gaining university involvement in the human exploration aspects of the program.

The presentation will be given in the Lecture Hall of the Lunar and Planetary Institute from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 16. Participants of the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference are invited.
