OVERVIEW Our research program (both on-site and off-site)
includes earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics. Its
researchers are involved in a variety of research projects including
NASA’s
Mars Exploration Rover Mission (Spirit and Opportunity). They study
seasonal changes on Uranus and Neptune, and they explore the birth
of stars using the recently launched Spitzer space telescope. SSI is also home
to the internationally recognized central laboratory for imaging science for
the Cassini mission – the flagship mission to Saturn in both the American
and European planetary exploration programs. MORE...
