Mars Exploration
Mars Exploration refers to the scientific investigation and study of the planet Mars, primarily conducted through robotic spacecraft, landers, and rovers. The goal of Mars Exploration is to gather information about the planet’s geology, climate, surface conditions, and potential for past or present life. This includes missions that orbit Mars, land on its surface, and analyze its soil, atmosphere, and rocks. Advances in technology have allowed for detailed imaging and data collection, contributing to our understanding of Mars’ history, including its potential habitability and its similarities and differences compared to Earth. Mars Exploration is a key focus of space agencies like NASA, ESA (European Space Agency), and others, and includes notable missions such as the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance, as well as orbiters like Mars Odyssey and MAVEN.
