Olivier de Goursac is a science and space imaging specialist with a long history of involvement with Mars. After working with NASA/JPL on the Viking and Pathfinder Mars missions, he helped to create the "Mars Education and Public Outreach Office" in 1993. He became its representative in France, promoting the missions to Mars to the general public, and also did public outreach relating to the Pathfinder mission in the United States in 1997. He is the co-author of two books in France and a regular contributor to popular science magazines. Dr. James B. Garvin is a senior Mars scientist with NASA.
Space-imaging specialist de Goursac pre-sents a selection of photographs of the Red Planet: windswept plains, fields of giant dunes, deep canyons, the highest mountains in the solar system, polar ice caps. Drawn from the best of the robotic exploration missions, almost all the images are previously unpublished, and all have been processed by the author to an unusually fine level of detail.
