MEPAG/ExMAG Joint Workshop on Connecting Community Scientific Hypothesis to Mars Sample Science
OSIRIS-Rex Sample Return

April 22-23, 2024 (2 days hybrid in-person/virtual)

MEPAG and ExMAG are jointly hosting a workshop focused on relating scientific hypotheses about Mars to what can be learned from samples. The workshop will span two full days, April 22-23, 2024 (10am-6pm EDT), and will focus on building collaborations, distilling science hypotheses that can be addressed by samples returned from either Jezero Crater or elsewhere on Mars (robotically or by humans) and understanding the potential applications of various sample analysis techniques on Earth.

In addition, because any given collection of returned samples may not completely address all hypotheses or fields of inquiry, we want to develop an understanding of how those other areas can be supported by research and analysis, technology development, and the Mars Exploration Program.
