Data from THEMIS helped scientists choose a landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), NASA's next rover spacecraft, due to arrive August 2012.
The program provides classes, workshops, field trips, and other opportunities for teachers and students to join with scientists in the excitement of Mars exploration.
Scientists and staff are engaged in mission operations and research projects, mostly involving Mars. The facility is also home to ASU's Mars Education Program.
