Mars Desert Research Station Information Session and Panel March 26, 2024 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm PHYS 238 This year, two crews from Purdue University have been offered an opportunity during December 2024 to perform Mars-related analog research at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah. Each crew will have between 6 to 7 members based on requirements, and backup members will be selected to fill support roles. There is an additional opportunity to apply for the Boiler Analog Mission Control to support each crew during their mission. Available MDRS crew positions are described on the Purdue MDRS website homepage: https://tinyurl.com/4jbkv3eh<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F4jbkv3eh&data=05%7C02%7Cengr-ibe-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C8fa67c8caac44a8c11fa08dc4ad7f1d6%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638467538550034456%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RNgLps4d0jLURnbxocsw7knWIosByOFR7Kfhjg8Q1Dg%3D&reserved=0>. Note that any student/staff/faculty from any Purdue department can apply; however, applicants should be a good fit for the roles at MDRS. For example, there are journalist, artist, and human factors related roles that provide opportunity for arts, communications, and psychology major students to apply.
