Heya. This is an entry from me, Steve. I'm the Chief Field Engineer and Canadian Principal Investigator of NASA HMP, here on Devon Island. I look after the exploration technology program here in the field -- everything from spacesuit computing and communications to mission operations, deep space communications, and crewed Mars rover tech.
We're having a great time here on Mars! It's my fifth field season on Devon Island, but it seems new each year. Have lots of our friends to work with, and new friends who are here to join us in trying to understand Mars, and how to explore Mars and the rest of the solar system. This year, we have new Mars airplane experiments, and, of course, the HMMWV, Mars-1!
We have a fascinating mix of space agencies, universities, private research institutes, and industry up here. We're pushing the edge and making it bleed with our research, both in the science, and in the technology!
However, it's not all work. I love hanging out with old friends and new friends here, all through the 24 hour day. We spend a lot of time laughing and smiling, and most importantly dreaming of space together.
