Re: Expanding Canada's Frontiers - ...To Mars and Beyond
*"This armada of spacecraft (referring to Mars Express, Beagle 2, Spirit and Opportunity) has been launched by several nations. Yet the contributions of Canada - and the University of Toronto - to Mars science and these missions are relatively unknown. The newly incorporated University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society will be bringing a Canadian astronaut and three speakers at the forefront of planetary exploration to Convocation Hall in mid-January 2004. Each of these luminaries will highlight Canada's contributions in various fields to the current revolution in space exploration."
The article gives a list of the guest speakers and their credentials, etc (including Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield).
Go Canada!

"The mission concepts that the CSA is interested in receiving include an orbiter, a single lander, or a network of small landers. It is possible that the lander concepts could include the ability to travel on the Martian surface."
