Visiting NASA engineer - talk at SciTech (WA)
Thursday, 30 July 2009
Mark T Lemmon - Currently Associate Professor at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University, Dr Mark T Lemmon worked with NASA to film images on Mars, making him, in effect, the first filmmaker on Mars (that we know of). Mark and his team placed cameras on the Phoenix Mars Lander(see the images from the Stereo Surface Imager) and Mark will talk to our SCINEMA audiences about the technicalities of filming on another planet, and share some of his home movies (which have budgets a few billion dollars higher than yours and mine).

Venue: SciTech, City West, Sutherland St, West Perth
Bookings: 08 9215 0739
