January 2, 2013 - Mars Exploration Program Director (ret.) Doug McCuistion to present at Product Innovation (PI) 2013 congress. PI 2013 takes place on 19-20 February, 2013, in Berlin.
On August 6th 2012, Curiosity, the NASA Mars Rover, made a successful landing in Gale Crater on Mars. This marked the culmination of many years of preparation and a journey of more than 350 million miles.
Doug McCuiston will share his experiences of a project that required huge ingenuity, continual design innovation and the management of an entirely unique set of challenges encountered when trying to land a car sized robotic rover on a planet with conditions not replicable on Earth.
Other PI 2013 speakers include Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, Prof Alfred Katzenbach, Director Information Technology for Engineering at Daimler, and Mark Chapman the Chief Engineer at the Bloodhound Supersonic Car to name just a few.
