MDRS EVA 09 Report: Hunting for Water and Dinosaurs

Dec 22nd, 2011 | By | Category: Aerospace, Mars Desert Research Station

Today, Karon, Victoria and I went out hunting for dinosaur’s fossils. We drove our personal mars rovers (ATVs) up north until the road ended at the Burpee Dinosaur Quarry. Can you see the dinosaur? We really did not find any bones, but these are some of the pictures we got as well as some of the pictures from the other EVA team which went out looking for water in order to analyze its chemical composition.

Can you seethe dinosaur?
