The \u201cScience and Exploration of Phobos and Deimos\u201d series was sponsored jointly by the NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) and the SSERVI teams at University of Central FL (CLASS) and Brown University\/MIT (SEEED) with many SSERVI-affiliated institutions participating. A major goal of the course is to identify significant outstanding questions and exploration goals for robotic and human exploration of Phobos and Deimos. These bodies are of particular interest as waystations or potential resources on the road to the surface of Mars. The class will held M&W at 3-4:15 pm. The core content will be 13 lectures given by leaders in the field. The format provides an opportunity for questions and discussion. The lectures will be accessible through Adobe Connect in real-time and will be recorded for on-line reference. All lectures will be held on Mondays at 3 pm EDT\/EST [50 min lecture + 30 min discussion]. Wednesday sessions will be additional student-lead presentations related to the subject of the Monday lecture with additional detailed discussion.<\/p>\n
