Mars Comet Science: Second Workshop
As a follow-up to our August 11, 2014 workshop, the CIOC held another one-day workshop on September 19, 2014, to discuss last minute plans and results relating to the close approach of Comet Siding Spring C/2013 A1 to Mars next month. The meeting was hosted by NASA JPL in Pasadena, California. The discussions were largely supplemental to those from the previous workshop, generally covering the latest and last-minute plans for observing the comet. Thus you might want to watch some of the overview presentations made in August if you are not completely familiar with the situation. All of those presentations are posted for download from the workshop page, and you can re-watch the Livestream videos to hear that discussion.
The second workshop was also streamed live, this time via ustream. Below we have links to the presentations given and to the ustream videos corresponding to each presentation.
