Doug Brown on Exploring Mars

Doug Brown, President of the Fremont Peak Observatory Association, will give us a short update on the programs and status of the FPOA. Then he will present “Exploring Mars”, a review of past, present and future Mars exploration, with an emphasis on the current Mars rover missions. This fast–moving presentation contains spectacular visuals and the latest in–depth technical information. His talk has received acclaim from numerous school, community and astronomy associations, but Doug says he prefers a technical audience, such as ours. When not doing astronomy, Doug is an executive with Applied Materials and an avid bush pilot.
