benefiting from biomedical experiments in space this week on planetary Radio. Radio. Welcome to the Travel Show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

Cheryl Nickerson is preparing to send her seventh experiment

into low-Earth orbit.

Her enthusiasm for this promising research is contagious, as you'll hear in minutes. Bill Nye finds it hard to believe that the

spacecraft that has confirmed yet another ocean in our solar system could be in

budget jeopardy and Bruce Betts tells us to look up at Mars in this week's what's up.

Emily Loch Wallace says,

No, look down on the red planet.

Emily, this new image looking down on curiosity from that high-rise camera kind of leaves me speechless

so please tell us what we're looking at. Well it really never gets old to see the

hardware that the human hands have built actually sitting on the surface of another planet.

And we routinely get that now with high-rise, the camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, in orbit at Mars,

Highrise can take these images with amazing detail down to 25

centimeters a pixel.

And because our favorite nuclear-powered rover is 2 meters long, that's plenty of pixels

that Mars-Reconnaissance Orbiter can get on curiosity.

And this latest photo was taken right after the rover had crossed a sand dune called Dingo

Gap.

The tracks that the rover left in the somewhat sandy soil all around this area are just wonderful to look at.

You can tell it's exquisitely detailed.

You can easily separate the two tracks. You can see what looks like little donuts it's not the
