Exploration of Mars

There have been many magnificent space missions. NASA was the one who prepared all the needs for the spacecraft so they could complete their missions. Mars Rover Spirit and Opportunity, Apollo 11, and Freedom 7 discovered and accomplished some great things. These missions helped scientists learn about things in outer space. They changed our world by giving us valuable information about different planets and galaxies today. All these space missions sacrificed astronauts lives and lots of money.…

Life in the solar system has been explored and debated over centuries, with Mars being the greatest subject of interest. This is due to the existence of water ice on its surface, and water vapour in its atmosphere. The existence of water is pivotal in the exploration of Mars, as it may hold vital information regarding the history of the planet. Scientists have implemented the ideology to ‘follow the water’, as the existence of water allows for life to grow, and more importantly, exist. This is…

world surrounding them. So much so that governments, including the United States government, spend billions of dollars on space programs to explore the solar system, the planet Mars in particular. As our earth develops into a planetary, polluted waste, Mars could eventually become our new home. Scientists believe Mars sustained or could sustain life, yet, they still can't uncover what lies beyond our planet. Perhaps Earthly humans aren't the only intellectual organisms that inhabit the…

• • Introduction Mars, a rocky, frozen, geologically dead and dry planet in our Solar system, but has polar ice caps and atmosphere, seasonal patterns, canyons, volcanoes and valleys.(nasa journey to mars) Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and in possible habitable position similar to Earth. Mars is the most intriguing and most observed object in space after the Moon for centuries, and a reason is very simple; Mars is visible from Earth in nighttime. Observation from the Earth…

without shelter. Why should we spend resources and time on space exploration when we could help people in need immediately. For this, you need to think long-term. Space exploration has the opportunity to critically make a change in life here on earth. It has the potential to change how we live and how it can benefit even the most poor people on the planet. Improvements in medicine and energy production can result in the exploration of space and the colonization of other planets. “The Gemini and…

Mars have always been perceived as a desolate planet, which does not have anything special other than arid surface with scattered rocks and mountains. However, science is telling us that this perception could be far from reality. With the rapid development of scientific research, paralleled with the technological revolution, recent explorations have revealed new data and interesting findings on the surface of our mysterious neighbor. Galileo Galilei was the first man to use a telescope to…

The future of space exploration starts today with the Space Launch System. Soon we will be able to go farther and faster than ever before to explore Mars and everything beyond. There are many difficult choices to be made before this is possible. We must choose a transportation method for the crew to travel these vast distances. SEP-Chem and the Hybrid Method are the two most promising methods. We must also be able to use Mars’s natural resources to our advantage and explore new ways of getting…

The Martian The closest Mars and Earth will ever be is 54.6 million kilometers. That has to be a bad feeling when it’s 2035 and your crew has just left you all alone on Mars. In The Martian book and movie we find out just how Mark Watney felt as he fought for his life while stranded on Mars and his strong desire to be reunited with Earth. The movie left out many important details that were included in the book, such as getting to know Watney before hopping into his journey and despite its lack…

Planetary Protection Rough Draft ESS 102 Jacob Berrigan For my Science fiction paper I will write about a routine mission to mars in the year 2040 to excavate mars because of the discovery of a vein of rare metals by an American mining company. In an effort to cut costs the company neglected to complete the abiotic protection procedures mandated by the government after returning to earth. The ship carries home a pathogen of which the human race has never seen. A sizeable percent of the…

The NASA website has archives of all missions ever performed by them. I chose some of the current missions such as Juno: mission to Jupiter, The International Space Station, And Curiosity mars rover. All Missions performed from NASA are costly, but all have very important reasons for those cost.The Juno spacecraft will for the first time peer below the dense cover of clouds to answer questions about the gas giant and the origins of our solar system. Juno's primary goal is to reveal the story of…
