The Office of Fellowships and Internships (OFI) was proud to start of the new Smithsonian Event Series with Dr. John Grant from National Air and Space Museum (NASM). Dr. Grant, a former NASA employee, who has been working with the Mars Rover project since 2001, gave a behind the scenes look into the adventures of rovers: Opportunity, Spirit, and Curiosity.

Participants also received a crash course in geology - explaining what different rocks and patterns translate to the history of Mars. Fellows and interns also received a peek at some Curiosity Rover pictures that were taken last week on the Mars surface.
