Planetfest 2012 – The Planetary Society

On August 5th 2012 the world was watching as NASA/JPL landed the Curiosity Rover on Mars. The entire weekend The Planetary Society hosted a conference open to the public to celebrate the event.

Three cameras were used, IMAG to the local projectors, bluray player for pre-recorded video insertion, hookups for laptops, skype video, HD NASA channel through a special-purpose satellite downlink.
