Press Room

Welcome to the The Planetary Society's Press Room. Here you'll find the latest information about Society events, programs, personalities, and other news about the exploration of the universe.

We are excited that our LIFE experiment had the opportunity to fly on Endeavour's last flight and will also be flying to a Martian moon on Russia's Phobos Sample Return Mission, currently slated to launch between October 20 and November 15, 2011.
