Watch Live Talk Online: Mars Curiosity, Year One
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
August 14, 2013

PASADENA, Calif. -- Are you ready for some science? No matter where you
are, you can join us online for a live public talk from NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., on Thursday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m.
PDT (10 p.m. EDT) about the Curiosity rover's first year on Mars. This
talk will revisit the dramatic, nail-biting landing and some of the
mission's top science results.

The speaker is JPL's Ashwin Vasavada, deputy project scientist for the
Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity mission.

Live streaming high-definition video of the event will be carried on
Ustream, with chat available, at: http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl .

Since successfully landing on Mars on Aug. 5, 2012, PDT (Aug. 6, 2012,
EDT), Curiosity has been refining much of what we know about the Red
Planet. The car-sized rover has already achieved its main science goal
of revealing that ancient Mars could have supported life. Curiosity is
currently en route to investigate the base of 3-mile-high (about 5
kilometers) Mount Sharp, whose exposed layers might hold intriguing
information about Mars' history.
