UH scientist chosen for simulated mission to Mars

UH scientist chosen for simulated mission to Mars
University of Hawai'i at Manoa scientist Kim Binsted, an assistant professor in the Department of Information and Computer Sciences, is one of seven crew members from around the world that will participate in an unprecedented four-month Mars simulation mission beginning next month. Binsted will leave Wednesday for the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS) on Devon Island in the high Canadian Arctic, a location only 900 miles from the North Pole chosen for its striking similarity to the Red Planet.
