  • Mars Exploration - a Story Fifty Years Long Giuseppe Pezzella and Antonio Viviani
    Chapter Introductory Chapter: Mars Exploration - A Story Fifty Years Long Giuseppe Pezzella and Antonio Viviani 1. Introduction Mars has been a goal of exploration programs of the most important space agencies all over the world for decades. It is, in fact, the most investigated celestial body of the Solar System. Mars robotic exploration began in the 1960s of the twentieth century by means of several space probes sent by the United States (US) and the Soviet Union (USSR). In the recent past, also European, Japanese, and Indian spacecrafts reached Mars; while other countries, such as China and the United Arab Emirates, aim to send spacecraft toward the red planet in the next future. 1.1 Exploration aims The high number of mission explorations to Mars clearly points out the impor- tance of Mars within the Solar System. Thus, the question is: “Why this great interest in Mars exploration?” The interest in Mars is due to several practical, scientific, and strategic reasons. In the practical sense, Mars is the most accessible planet in the Solar System [1]. It is the second closest planet to Earth, besides Venus, averaging about 360 million kilometers apart between the furthest and closest points in its orbit. Earth and Mars feature great similarities. For instance, both planets rotate on an axis with quite the same rotation velocity and tilt angle. The length of a day on Earth is 24 h, while slightly longer on Mars at 24 h and 37 min. The tilt of Earth axis is 23.5 deg, and Mars tilts slightly more at 25.2 deg [2].

It is also a prerequisite to prepare for future human exploration. To address this important objective, ESA plans to launch the ExoMars mission in 2011. ExoMars will also develop and demonstrate key technologies needed to extend Europe’s capabilities for planetary exploration. Mission Objectives ExoMars will deploy two science elements on the Martian surface: a rover and a small, fixed package. The Rover will search for signs of past and present life on Mars, and characterise the water and geochemical environment with depth by collecting and analysing subsurface samples. The fixed package, the Geophysics/Environment Package (GEP), will measure planetary geophysics para- meters important for understanding Mars’s evolution and habitability, identify possible surface hazards to future human missions, and study the environment. The Rover will carry a comprehensive suite of instruments dedicated to exo- biology and geology: the Pasteur payload. It will travel several kilometres searching for traces of life, collecting and analysing samples from inside surface rocks and by drilling down to 2 m. The very powerful combination of mobility and accessing locations where organic molecules may be well-preserved is unique to this mission. esa bulletin 126 - may 2006 17 ExoMars will also pursue important sedimentary rock formations suggest the Hazards for Manned Operations on Mars technology objectives aimed at extend- past action of surface liquid water on Mars Before we can contemplate sending ing Europe’s capabilities in planetary – and lots of it.

  • Hi, This Is Steve Nerlich from Cheap Astronomy and This Is Fobos-Grunt
    Hi, this is Steve Nerlich from Cheap Astronomy www.cheapastro.com and this is Fobos-Grunt. Cheap Astronomy originally did a podcast on the Fobos-Grunt mission in 2009, it didn’t make the launch window – so now it’s scheduled for a late 2011, early 2012 launch window. Launch windows to Mars come around once every 26 months. If Fobos-Grunt doesn’t launch this time there will be another 26 months wait until early 2014. This is all because Mars has a 687 day solar orbit, which is close to, though not quite twice the time that of Earth’s solar orbit. This means there’s only one opportunity, when the two planets are in just the right spots to launch a spacecraft, give it a bit of a push up the Sun’s gravity well to Mars’ orbit, just at the right time that Mars is passing by that particular point. The recent history of launches to Mars reads like this: in 2007, the highly successful though now ice-entombed Phoenix mission launched; in 2005 the fabulous Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter launched; in 2003, there was Europe’s Mars Express and its lander Beagle 2, which kind of crashed, and of course Spirit and Opportunity, the Mars rovers; in 2001 Mars Odyssey was launched, a trusty workhorse still in operation today, that amongst other things can relay signals from a Mars rover. If you use the Mars launch window, the travel time to Mars is around 7 to 10 months. Alternatively, you could launch at a different time and perhaps try to pursue Mars around its orbit, in which it moves at 24 kilometres a second.

  • Decades of Attempts Show How Hard It Is to Land on Mars – Here's How We Plan to Succeed in 2021 5 December 2016, by Andrew Coates
    Decades of attempts show how hard it is to land on Mars – here's how we plan to succeed in 2021 5 December 2016, by Andrew Coates The reason it is so hard to land on Mars is that the atmospheric pressure is low, less than 1% of Earth's surface pressure. This means that any probe will descend very rapidly to the surface, and must be slowed. What's more, the landing has to be done autonomously as the light travel time from Earth is three to 22 minutes. This delay transmission means we can't steer the rapid process from Earth. NASA and Russia have had their own problems with landings in the past, before the spectacular successes with the US missions Viking, Pathfinder, Spirit,Opportunity, Phoenix and Mars seen by the Viking orbiter. Credit: Curiosity. NASA/JPL/USGS Lessons learned Europe's first attempt to land on Mars was with Europe has been trying to land on Mars since Beagle 2 on Christmas day 2003.
