To Mars with MER

杰夫·海恩斯-斯泰尔斯制作公司正在制作和发行一个项目，该项目将遵循即将到来的NASA 2003火星探索月球车项目。与MER一起前往火星包括三个黄金时段的PBS节目，计划与MER项目的关键事件同时播出：发射前一天，着陆前一天，以及90天地面任务之后。这些计划将检查任务的里程碑，如关键的工程测试，以及根据我们对火星的科学问题选择着陆地点。黄金时段的特别节目将经过编辑，并与更多的直播和录音视频一起分发给科学中心、天文馆、教育有线电视网和通过卫星或高带宽互联网连接的学校。Passport to Knowledge是该项目的合作伙伴之一，将改编NASA的公共领域材料和自己的来自火星的Live资源(教师指南、网站等)。为教师和学生以及将通过广播和有线电视收看特派团报道的家长和家庭提供定制资源。所有材料都将在网上提供。

Geoff Haines-Stiles Productions is producing and distributing a project that will follow the upcoming NASA 2003 Mars Exploration Rover project. To Mars with MER consists of three prime-time PBS programs scheduled to be broadcast to coincide with key events in the MER project: the day before the launch, the day before landing and after the 90 day surface mission. These programs will examine such mission milestones as key engineering tests and selecting where to land based on the scientific questions we have about Mars. The prime time specials will be edited and, along with additional live and taped video, distributed to science centers, planetariums, educational cable networks and schools with satellite or high-bandwidth Internet connections. Passport to Knowledge, a partner in the project, will adapt NASA's public domain materials and its own Live from Mars resources (teacher's guide, websites, etc.) to provide customized resources for teachers and students and for the parents and families who will be watching coverage of the mission on broadcast and cable. All materials will be made available online.
