The lab I work for (http://lasp.colorado.edu/ http://lasp.colorado.edu/) has an instrument on board (MASCS). I worked on a 3D visualization tool for the data it produced.
As far as I know, it accomplished all its goals (and more!). Many of the findings, especially the ice in the polar craters, were completely unexpected, and that's the most exciting part of doing science!
- Yadi 11y agoThat is pretty rad! Kudos, thanks for info.
- hga 11y agoIn all fairness, that's the most exciting thing for experimentalists. For theoreticians, it's a variation on the same thing, coming up with a theory that explains phenomena beyond what they were developing it for, e.g. Einstein's single greatest personal experience was when he discovered his general relativity explained an anomaly of Mercury's orbit.
