Martian Weather Forecasts are Tricky, Says Texas A&m Professor
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
What we will do is we will look at the
feasibility of Martian weather forecasting,
not forecast the weather right now.
But the main motivation is that
eventually we would like to send
humans to Mars,
and it would be
very important to know, where
they land, what kind of
weather is waiting for them.
And also it's very important for
robotic probes, because
we don't want to lose them.
It's a major investment to send a robotic
probe there. And we
don't want to put them in the middle
of a dust storm, let's say.
