Picture This: Imaging Surfaces of the Earth\, Moon\, &\; Mars
\nCameras help us capture everyday m oments of our lives. However\, in the exploration of space\, images become critical to understanding the surfaces of other worlds. Images can be use d for science observations and to inspire the public. Dr. Marie Henderson is a lunar scientist using cameras for science observations of the Earth\, Moon\, and Mars. Come learn about how scientists prepare for and take ima ges of other planetary bodies.
\nDr. Marie Henderson (she/her) is a planetary scientist with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt \, MD and the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Originally from Her mitage\, PA\, Dr. Henderson earned an undergraduate degree in Solar\, Eart h\, and Planetary Science from the Florida Institute of Technology and a d octoral degree in Planetary Sciences from Purdue University. She studies v olcanic landscapes on the Earth\, Moon\, and Mars using an orbit-to-outcro p research methodology. Previously\, Dr. Henderson was employed at a space craft camera company\, Malin Space Science Systems\, and is interested in how cameras and astronauts will capture images of planetary surfaces. Dr. Henderson was a member of the Mars Curiosity Rover team and a member of th e Heimdall Camera System team that will land on the Moon in the future. Dr . Henderson strives to prepare astronauts and robotic missions to explore and study volcanic surfaces when they return to the Moon through conductin g scientific and operations field campaigns at planetary analogs across th e Earth.
