1 Jessica Kaminski Mentor Greg Mehall – Mars Space Flight Facility NASA Space Grant Symposium Arizona State University April 18, 2009

2 Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity

3 Opportunity Launched July 7, 2003 Arrived January 25, 2004 Meridiani Planum Still operational Science instrument include: Cameras: Pan Cam Nav Cam Microscopic Imager Spectrometers Mossbauer Spectrometer Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer Grinder Rock Abrasion Tool Magnet Magnet Array

4 Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer ( Mini-TES)

5  Determine the mineralogy of the rocks and soils  Determine the thermo-physical properties of selected soil patches  Determine the temperature profile, dust opacity, water-ice opacity, and water vapor abundance in the atmosphere
