thomas a. mutch

Thomas A. (Tim) Mutch (August 26,1931 – October 6,1980) was an American geologist. He was a professor at Brown University from 1960 until his death. He was presumed killed when he disappeared during descent from Mount Nun in the Kashmir Himalayas. He published two books about the geology of the Moon and of Mars. As head of the Viking surface photography team, he is quoted as commenting on the first pictures: "This is just an incredible scene. It looks safe and very interesting." A crater on Mars was named in his honor, and the Viking 1 lander was renamed "Thomas A. Mutch Memorial Station" in 1982. The Thomas "Tim" Mutch Memorial Fund was established in 1981 by his family and friends.
