VIDEO CARTOON RELEASED!
What is the EO4GEO project? How does it help to improve the skills of the new generations of EO*GI users? A recap of the project goals and outputs in this video!
TRENDING PICTURE
On 18 February the NASA Perseverance rover safely landed on Mars, after a long journey of more than six months. The main goal of "Percy" is to find signs of microbial life, as well as collect samples of soil and rock and study the weather of the planet. Two NASA rovers are now exploring Mars: the other is Curiosity, which landed in 2012.
GOOD READS
Sounds of Mars: The Perseverance rover carries two microphones on board: for the first time we are able to listen to Mars' sounds! The different atmosphere makes the sounds different from what we are used to. Listen to Red Planet's sounds, Earth's sounds as they would be on Mars and even your voice on Mars here.
