  • USA_SCI_BIOSPH_85_xs <br />
Biosphere 2 Project founder John Allen with map of the planet Mars. Allen is pointing to what he thinks is a probable landing/colony site on the Mars map. Biosphere 2 was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson, Arizona, and was entirely self- contained. The eight ‘Biospherian’s’ shared their air- and water-tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life. The project had problems with oxygen levels and food supply, and has been criticized over its scientific validity. 1990

  • Radio Telescope: The Mars Antenna in the Mojave Desert, California. Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex. Standing 24 stories tall, the Mars antenna is the largest dish at Goldstone. It was originally built as a 64-meter-diameter (210-foot) antenna and received its first signal from the Mariner 4 mission to Mars. By 1988, the Mars dish, along with the 64-meter antennas in Spain and Australia, was upgraded to 70 meters (230 feet). These 70-meter antennas increase the receiving power of the Deep Space Network.

  • Under the control of NASA engineers (from left) Eric Baumgartner, Hrand Aghazarian, and Terry Huntsberger, the Mars Rover robot slowly carries its small payload of rock debris and dirt up the ramp to its mother ship. The rover was scheduled to be sent to Mars on two missions, in 2003 and 2005. Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 126.

NASA sees an airplane as an important tool for exploring Mars early in the 21st century, and AeroVironment is seeking the honor of building the plane.

  • Spreading its solar-power panels to catch the last feeble light of day, the Rocky 7 patrols the Mars Yard of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Controlled by an operator (visible in shed window), it is working in dimly lit conditions like those it will face on Mars, which is much farther from the Sun than the Earth is. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 125.

  • Virtual reality: Lewis Hitchner manipulates a pair of video images of the Valles Marineris of the planet Mars, computer-generated from data provided by the Viking spacecraft at NASA's Ames Research Centre, California. Sophisticated computers & sensors provide the user with a telepresence in the virtual world, through small video screens mounted in goggles on a headset, whilst a spherical joystick controls movement through the virtual landscape. One future Martian application of this system might be in gathering geological samples by remote control using a rover robot. A sensor in the geologist's headset could direct the robot at specific sample targets. Model Released (1990)

  • Religious statue, Santa María de Eunate, Province of Navarra. The Church of Saint Mary of Eunate is located in the center of the Ilzarbe Valley on the pilgrims' road to Santiago de Compostela. It was built in the 12th century at the same time the pilgrims trail was expanding at a rapid pace. It is purported to be one of the three funerary chapels that marked the road to Santiago de Compostela. The building was restored in the early 1900's. Navarra, Spain.
