New Public Lecture Series: Success and Failure on Mars

Mechanics in the Exploration of Space

Over the last three decades, engineering mechanics has been exploited to yield success in the exploration of Mars. This talk will highlight a few examples of engineering mechanics being used to save billions of dollars of U.S. investment and create an ever-expanding understanding of Mars – and Earth’s place in the solar system.


We are thrilled to have Adam D. Steltzner of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory as our speaker for this event.
