We've been a little quiet recently, and that is unfortunately due to our funding coming to an end. But fear not! While we might not be able to physically send out resource packs, you can still request the digital resources by emailing us at [email protected] !

Thank you so much to everyone that has supported this project over the past few years. We have made over 10,000 filter wheels with participants across the world. Whilst we wait patiently for Rosalind Franklin to launch in 2028, keep an eye out - we may return!

Hello everyone! It has been a while since we have posted so thought we would give an update as to what we have been up to.

Our founders have been busy finishing off their PhD's and preparing for the next step in their careers, so Eyes on Mars will be coming to an end at the end of the summer - but do not worry! There are ways to get involved before we say goodbye.

We are currently working to deliver the last of our resources out to groups across the UK - if you are interested in requesting them please get in touch via email ([email protected])

We are also going to be presenting the outcomes of Eyes on Mars at the International Astronomy Unions conference, Communicating Astronomy to the Public (CAP2024) in Toulouse later this month. If you will be there, please come and say hi!

Testing is so important for space because if something breaks, we can't just go fix it. PanCam was also vigorously tested for Mars! Barry Whiteside, electrical engineer at UCL, tells us about the testing for PanCam.

There are many challenges involved in space engineering - that's what makes this so fun! So let's hear Barry tell us what was the hardest thing about building PanCam!!
