NASA to Hold Dec. 8 Media Teleconference on Mars Rover Curiosity Observations
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
December 3, 2014

NASA will host a media teleconference at 9 a.m. PST (noon EST) Monday,
Dec. 8, to discuss geological observations made by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity.

Teleconference participants will be:

-- Michael Meyer, Mars Exploration Program lead scientist at NASA Headquarters
in Washington

-- Sanjeev Gupta, Curiosity science team member at Imperial College in
London

-- John Grotzinger, Curiosity project scientist at the California Institute
of Technology in Pasadena, California

-- Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity deputy project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena

Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012 in a crater 96 miles (154 kilometers)
in diameter, dubbed Gale Crater. Researchers have since been using the
rover to investigate the Red Planet to determine current environmental
conditions and hunt for clues about the environments of ancient Mars.
The rover currently is examining geological layers at the base of a layered
mountain in the middle of the crater.

Audio of the teleconference will be streamed live at:
