MDRS Loses a Member of Its Family
We announce with great sadness the passing of John Barainca (1935-2015), one of the founding members of the Mars Society and a dedicated supporter of the organization's Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS). John played a key role in establishing the MDRS facility by helping select its location in Utah and working as part of the crew that built the station. He served as long-time Hab manager, volunteering countless hours to repair and improve the station, manage its field seasons and train its crews. In addition, John participated as part of the MDRS astronomy team.
