This MarsLink kit was made possible by the generous support of the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation and the members of The Planetary Society. Materials were reviewed for scientific and educational content by a team of scientists, educators and The Planetary Society editorial staff.
The Mars Observer, Viking and Mariner images and data used throughout the kit were provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, the US Geological Survey and William K. Hartmann of the University of Arizona. Dennis L. Mammana of the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater and Science Center in San Diego provided the sky chart and information about Mars in the winter skies.
