Abstract: The environment of Mars is controlled by a myriad of processes‚ however water and weathering on the surface of Mars is still an extremely controversial topic. This project aims to explore the current evidence we have for liquid water in the past and present by inspecting the geomorphological evidence and evaluate the role it plays in shaping Mars’ topography. From terrestrial analogs‚ we can begin to explain the processes that occur on Mars. Due to the similarities of outflow channels‚

This means we can measure the drop in brightness‚ and infer the planet’s mass and size. This information allows us to calculate its density‚ and with that knowledge‚ we can know whether the planet is rocky like Mars‚ Venus or Earth‚ or gaseous‚ like Jupiter‚ Saturn or Uranus (or even icy‚ like

covered with water. I learned that while other worlds of the solar system have atmospheres‚ only Earths contains the oxygen that we humans and animals need to survive. I had really hoped that wasn’t true because I had big aspirations of one day living on mars. We learned about about the greenhouse effect and how clouds‚ snow‚ ice and sand reflect about 31% of the incoming sunlight back into space. The earth though also emits radiation into space because of its temperature. Fighting off the urge to day dream

take you and why you wish to explore that particular feature of the solar system. List what you hope to learn from your mission. (3 points) The space mission will take me to Mars. I wish to explore that particular feature of the solar system because I want to find a way to grow more food. I hope to learn how to survive on Mars. 2. Identify any challenging conditions that you may encounter on your mission; this may include near-vacuum conditions‚ extreme temperatures‚ cosmic radiation‚ and microgravity

It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in our mind. In this exercise

great‚ because my experience was way more interesting and pleasing then I expected it to be. The first exhibit that I came upon was “On our Solar System” it had the clone model of the rover that is currently taking pictures and samples of the planet Mars which is also known as “The Red Planet”. There were pictures of all the moons and planets discovered in our solar system which was way more than I knew about. I saw a couple models of old telescopes that were used by our famous astronomers back in

things that they want or need because of the belief that they are too good. That dangerous superiority complex can be seen in the short story “Silent Towns” in which Walter Gripp‚ the main character of the short story‚ finds himself alone in his town on Mars. At first‚ he relishes in his newfound independence and the lack of rules but eventually‚ he begins to yearn for human company. One day‚ Gripp receives a phone call that he misses and as a result‚ he dials almost every number until a woman picks up

oceans in particular (Etzioni). The main cost comes from sending humans since they require food‚ safer equipment‚ and a way back home. We could save so much money by just sending rovers‚ which are traveling robots capable of being on certain planets‚ to Mars instead of people. This will not only be cheaper‚ but safer. This will allow more money to be used for ocean exploration. For example‚ a permanent partially-submerged sea exploration station‚ called the SeaOrbiter‚ is currently in development. As all
