HMP-2008 Field Deployment Almost Here
In just over two weeks the first group of Mars Institute staff will make their way to Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island and then onward to the HMP Research Station located at the edge of the Haughton impact crater on Devon Island for the start of HMP-2008.
Once the research station has been opened up for this years field season over 80 participants from over 15 institutions and two space agencies will make their way to Haughton Crater to conduct an exciting science and exploration research program. This years field season is expected to run through to mid-August, our longest deployment to date and will include the total solar eclipse on August 1st.
This year we plan to keep you even better informed on a daily basis using a variety of online social networking tools including:
- Blogging though this site
- Microblogging updates through our Twitter account
- Image updates on our new Flickr account
- Video updates on our new YouTube channel
As well we're planning webcasts of various events which may include the eclipse itself. Stay tuned for me details on the webcast schedule. And of course when full communications have been setup we'll turn on our live webcams.
