As promised, I'm posting some pictures from JPL's open house, which is an excellent opportunity to see many of the ongoing projects there. The long lines and waits were worth it. (If you click on a photo, you should be able to enlarge it.)
This picture is inside the Mars Laboratory. The environs of this lab replicates the surface of Mars and has been used to help figure out solutions from issues the Rover has encountered on Mars. Remember when the Rover got stuck on Mars a while back? The solution was figured out here. This lab has extended the Rover expedition on Mars by several years.
If you have 3-D glasses, you may be able to view the surface of Mars in 3-D in this photo.
