Curiosity's Team Teleworks

MSL team members working remotely

April 13, 2020

Members of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover mission team took pictures of themselves from their home offices on March 20, 2020, the first day the entire mission team worked remotely. Rover planning usually happens at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Clockwise from upper left: Rover planner Keri Bean, wearing red-blue 3D glasses; rover planner Camden Miller; tactical uplink lead Jack Quade; and Science Operations Team Chief Carrie Bridge.
