Throughout my stay here at the Haughton-Mars Project, I've been helping out with Robotic Arm Testing and Sampling. Sean Dougherty of MDA Information Systems took me under his wing, allowed me to assist him in his efforts, and I've learned a great deal of information because of it. Sean and Pascal Lee ,Director of the Haughton-Mars Project and Chairman of The Mars Institute, have given me advice, instructed me on how to approach data and have guided me through the entire process; I am immensely grateful.
