10 October 2008 to 15 October 2008. American Astronomical Society: 40th annual meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical SocietyLocation: Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA

Location: Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Info: "How old is that star?" That is one of the most difficult questions to answer in galactic astrophysics. We have ways of determining the ages of ensembles of stars (groups and clusters), but critical astrophysical questions can only be addressed if we can estimate the ages of individual stars in the field.

Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: Building on the success of the two rover geologists that arrived at Mars in January, 2004, NASA's next rover mission will depart for the Red Planet in 2009. Twice as long and five times as heavy as the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Mars Science Laboratory will collect Martian soil and rock samples and analyze them for organic compounds and minerals which demonstrate that Mars can or did support life. This sophisticated science laboratory will be delivered to the Martian surface using an innovative new landing system. The spacecraft will start by steering itself through the Martian atmosphere in a fashion similar to the way the Apollo entry capsule controlled its entry through Earth's upper atmosphere. This approach will allow the spacecraft to fly to a desired location above the surface of Mars before deploying its parachute for the final landing. Then, in the final minutes before touchdown, the spacecraft will activate its parachute and retro rockets before lowering the rover package to the surface on a tether.
