History of the Red Planet Satellite Report

The idea for the Red Planet Satellite Report was born at a meeting between chapter and task force leaders at the 1999 Mars Society convention (the second annual gathering held in Boulder, Colorado). Almost everybody in attendance felt the need for better internal Mars Society communication, and an internal bi-weekly newsletter seemed to be the best solution.

The Red Planet Satellite Report is made up of individual reports submitted by all Mars Society chapters around the world (which currently counts almost 100 independent organizations), as well as all Mars Society projects and task forces, such as the group building and operating the Mars Arctic Research Station.

Richard Wagner , co-author of The Case for Mars and editor of the New Mars Journal, served as the first editor of the Red Planet Satellite Report from August 1999 until February 2000.

Upon the formation of the Chapter's Council in February 2000, it was decided that the Red Planet Satellite Report would become a publication of the Chapter's Council. It was agreed that Jim Plaxco, the Secretary of Communications for the Chapter's Council and the representative to the council for the Illinois Chapters would become the editor.
