Host Dave Schlom checks in on the Mars rovers, first with Perseverance systems engineer and planetary scientist Vivian Sun as they discuss the rover's operations in Jezero Crater searching for signs of ancient life.
Then Dave visits with Curiosity Rover Engineering Camera Lead Doug Ellison about a remarkable picture he helped create from the slopes of Mount Sharp looking back through a valley into Gale Crater. Finally, we take a look at the origin of extraterrestrial rovers with Earl Swift, the author of the new book Across The Airless Wilds: The Lunar Rover and The Triumph of the Final Moon Landings.
