On the front lines of space innovation
George Lordos is not your typical graduate student. A degree in economics from Oxford University, an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management, and a 20-year professional career were not the end of his learning journey. His longtime passion for space, particularly the prospect of making a sustainable society on Mars a reality, drew him back to school yet again, this time to study aeronautics a 45 years after launch, NASA's Voyager probes still blazing trails billions of miles away
Forty-five years ago, NASA launched the first part of its most ambitious deep space mission in its history - a spacecraft called Voyager 2, which is still communicating with scientists on Earth at a distance of more than 12 billion miles away.
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are both in interstellar space. In fact, they are one of only five space probes from Earth that have left the solar syst New water map of Mars will prove invaluable for future exploration
A new map of Mars is changing the way we think about the planet’s watery past, and showing where we should land in the future.
