ExoMars PanCam Field Test Report from the Arctic Mars Analogue Svalbard Expedition (AMASE) 2008
From 4-17 August 2008, the 6th Arctic Mars Analogue Svalbard Expedition (AMASE) 2008 will take place in the Svalbard archipelago, Norway, which is considered to be an excellent analogue site for early Mars. An international crew of scientists and engineers involved in Mars exploration will study the...
