on the search for life and the characterization of geological Martian substances. To add to this‚ the purpose of this mission is to locate evidence of current of past life underground and to test the ability of Mars to sustain life. Using the research conducted in past‚ current‚ and future Mars missions‚ this mission proposes three questions about Mars that correlate to the Mars Exploration Program (MEP) science goals and guide the mission. 1. Is there a possibility that life is inhabiting below

Resiliency of the NASA Mars Program In this paper we will discuss many successes and failures in the history of NASA’s Mars program. When ever NASA has failed they have showed great examples of resiliency. “Merriam-Webster defines resiliency as the ability to become strong‚ healthy‚ or successful again after something bad happens” (www.merriam-webster.com). In 1957 the world changed. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 the first artificial satellite ever. This was the start of the Space Age. Many

NASA’s Space Exploration Initiative Mars plan was expected to cost about $400 billion. According to Zubrin’s 1990 estimate" (Mars Direct)‚ today the projected cost is around US$ 10-22 billion. The race to Mars has begun‚ with this race extending father than government agencies like NASA. The Mars race has even become privatized‚ with companies like Mars One and Space X designing ways to hopefully reach Mars first. The mission to Mars and the first stages to colonize Mars will be very costly‚ keeping that
