The name of the month March derives from Mars.The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including Mars

One of the most explored planets in our solar system is Mars. Scientists are exploring Mars’s surface using rovers‚ robotic devices that take pictures and samples. Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance of iron oxide. Mars has surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes‚ valleys‚ deserts‚ and polar ice caps of Earth. Frozen ice has been spotted on Mars by scientists who suspect that there has been water on the surface

Colonizing Mars Many scientists believe that humanity has a date with extinction if we do not try to expand our horizons. It took about 4.5 billion years for mankind to evolve into the intelligent beings we see when we look in the mirror. For this very reason scientists believe that mankind would make a grave mistake if we do not put forth a dedicated effort in saving humanity. There are many concerns that are facing mankind in attempting to colonize space and other planets. However

Exploration on Mars For College Students/Adults \Final-Astronomy Objectives Students will understand the following: 1. Since the dawn of the space age in the 1960s‚ we have sent spacecraft to the most easily reached places in our solar system‚ such as Mars. 2. For exploration of celestial bodies‚ NASA has developed a three-phase strategy: reconnaissance‚ surveillance‚ and in-depth study. 3. Each mission to Mars has made specific discoveries and raised questions to be answered

Colonization of Mars What does a planet need to have in order to support life? Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet that is supporting life. Some scientists go so far as to say that the Earth is a “perfect planet” because it has features that are the perfect environment for living organisms; these features include our atmosphere‚ water‚ and a single moon. Earth is also in a place in our solar system where the Sun gives off the right amount of energy to drive the

As a geologist in the Mars One Project‚ I needed to do a lot of research on Mars‚ its atmosphere‚ its conditions‚ its soil‚ etc. My team’s mission is to find a way to provide nutrition to the astronauts. The contributions I have made with settling on Mars is‚ first of all‚ had to figure out the temperature of Mars. With the information we researched‚ we figured out what temperature we need to have in the greenhouse‚ and what temperature we needed for the plants to grow in. What I did separately

However‚ it is the Earth’s neighbor‚ Mars‚ which has the biggest chance that life may exist on. In my opinion‚ I think we still have to go a long road to answer the question: “Is there life on Mars?” Mars is the fourth planet of the Solar System. It is the nearest planet to Earth. Therefore‚ there are many similarities between two planets. For example‚ according to BBC (n.d.)‚ Mars has the surface with mountains‚ valleys‚ volcanoes and the atmosphere above it; Mars moves around the Sun so it also has
