ABSTRACT

In preparation for participating in MDRS Crew 64, the author evaluated the science reports of all previous crews to establish the type and extend of biology and geology studies conducted by each crew. The author used this information to formulate the science studies to be conducted during his crew rotation. He has since expanded the original summary to include all science studies conducted from 2002 through spring 2007. This summary is presented herein.
