The Space Science Institute will refurbish its 5,000 square foot traveling exhibition, "MarsQuest: Exploring the Red Planet" (ESI-9705377), enhancing the exhibition with new components that incorporate recent data from ongoing Mars missions, and extending its national tour for an additional three years. Enhancements include exhibits on Mars' weather, exobiology and the addition of a photo-realistic rotating Mars globe. Additional improvements include models of the NASA Mars exploration rover and an online kiosk to make additional information available to visitors after they leave the exhibition. MarsQuest is fully booked and there is a waiting list for a second three-year tour. The proposed refurbishment and enhancements will occur at the end of the current tour in 2003, with the new tour beginning early 2004.

空间科学研究所将翻新其5000平方英尺的巡回展览，“火星探索：探索红色星球”（ESI-9705377），用新的组件加强展览，包括正在进行的火星任务的最新数据，并将其全国巡回展览延长三年。增强功能包括火星天气、外太空生物学的展览，以及一个逼真的旋转火星球。其他的改进还包括美国宇航局火星探测车的模型，以及一个在线信息亭，让参观者在离开展览后可以获得更多的信息。MarsQuest已经被预订一空，还有人在等待第二次为期三年的巡演。拟议的翻新和改善将在2003年目前的巡回演出结束时进行，而新的巡回演出将在2004年初开始。
