The objectives for the workshop remain unchanged and most of the original program will be employed. All of the talks that were to be presented in
Ithaca will be presented at the meeting in Pasadena. Minor adjustments in the schedule have been made, including expanding the meeting to two full
days to ensure ample time for discussion.
Please notify John Grant (grantj@nasm.si.edu) and Matt Golombek (mgolombek@jpl.nasa.gov) no later than October 3rd if you plan to attend the
meeting. We hope that you will be able to attend the rescheduled workshop and will continue to participate in the landing site selection process for
the MER 2003 mission.
