Lunar Planetary Lab – Monday October 28th 11:00 group size 12
The Lunar planetary Lab on the UA campus is one of the world’s largest planetary science research centers in a university setting. Dante Lauretta was the principal investigator for the OSIRIS-REx capsule landing on the asteroid Bennu 4.4 billion miles away. The lab is currently leading the OSIRIS-APEX project headed to asteroid APophis. Our tour guide worked on OSIRIS – REx. She will take us to a few labs where scientists are currently working on a variety of projects involving planetary interiors, surfaces and atmosphere; the sun and its heliosphere; interstellar space; and the origins and evolution of life. Lunch will be on campus or on our way home. Carpooling is arranged from the SCOV Views parking lot at 10:00AM
