Exploring Mars with WISDOM
n an effort to find ice and water
beneath the surface of Mars, a
Norwegian-designed radar named
WISDOM (Water Ice and Subsurface
Deposit Observations on Mars) will
be installed on the European Space
Agency's probe, ExoMars. Here are a
few facts about WISDOM:
Ê Svein-Erik Hamran and his colleagues
at the Norwegian Defense
Research Establishment designed
WISDOM.
I
Ê " The main scientific objective for
the ExoMars mission is to look for life, "
Hamran says. WISDOM will drill below
Mars' surface and take core samples
in hopes of fi nding organic material.
Ê The radar weighs approximately
2 pounds and is designed to take images
6-10 feet deep with a resolution
of a few centimeters.
Ê Since the average temperature on
Mars is below zero, scientists are testing
the radar in Svalbard to simulate
cold, " Mars-like " conditions.
Ê WISDOM is set to land on Mars
in 2019 and will be the fi rst-ever georadar
on the planet.
Want to Improve
Your Sámi I.Q.?
HERE'S THE SCOOP:
POPULATION: The Sámi people
live in Sweden, Norway, Finland and
Russia. The largest population-
about 60,000, including registered
and non-registered Sámi-resides in
Norway.
HISTORY: In the late 1800s,
Norwegian authorities enforced rules
of Norwegianization and assimilation
on the Sámi people. By the
1950s, the government rescinded its
policies and began working toward
reconciliation with the Sámi.
A SURGE OF SÁMI
During the past 20 years, the registered Sámi population increased from
5,500 to 14,000. But the boom isn't due to a rising birth rate. Since the Sámi
Parliament, or Sámediggi, gained recognition and authority, more Sámi are
registering to vote.
" [Sámi] are more visible in public debate and in the community, " says Jan
Roger Østby, head of the Sámediggi communications department. " We
have our own language, history and culture. When we are equal partners in
the society, it will make Norway more colorful and rich. "
ELECTIONS: The fi rst elections for
the Sámediggi were held in October
1989 in conjunction with the Norwegian
national elections. King Olav
formally opened the fi rst session of
the Sámediggi on Oct. 9, 1989.
REGISTRATION: To register as a
Sámi, one must use Sámi as his or
her domestic language, or have
had a parent, grandparent or
great-grandparent whose domestic
language was Sámi.
