Themis will be powered by the ESA's Prometheus rocket engine. [1] Two possible landing sites have been mentioned in discussions surrounding the project: [2] The former Diamant launch complex, which will be used for the flight testing phase; [3] The Ariane 5 launch complex, which will become available after the transition from the Ariane 5 to ...
The THEMIS instrument, before being mounted onto Mars Odyssey. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) is a camera on board the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. It images Mars in the visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to determine the thermal properties of the surface and to refine the distribution of minerals on the surface of Mars as determined by the Thermal ...

He was also the co-investigator of NASA's Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms project (THEMIS). [1] In 2011, Mann co-developed equipment for the Canadian Space Agency to help crews aboard the International Space Station monitor the radiation levels outside. [ 4 ]
The Europa Thermal Emission Imaging System (E-THEMIS) instrument is designed to scan the surface of Europa and identify areas of geologically recent resurfacing through the detection of subtle thermal anomalies. This 'heat detector' will provide high spatial resolution, multi-spectral thermal imaging of Europa to help detect active sites such ...
Rutherford stepped down as education director of the AAAS and Project 2061 in 1998 and retired from the AAAS in 2001. His “retirement” project is a grant-funded environmental science curriculum program, “Resources for Environmental Literacy”. Additionally, he is an advisor to many countries revising their standards in science education.
