In 1993 He joined the Mars Pathfinder (MPF) project as the Mechanical and system lead for Mars Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL). After the successful landing of MPF on July 4th 1997 he spent many years in developing spacecraft for landing on comets and bringing samples back. In 2000 he joined the MER project that developed the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers as the mechanical system architect. They both landed successfully in early 2004 and Opportunity has just passed its 10 th birthday for operating on Mars.
