Mars Exploration

Mars Exploration refers to the scientific investigation of Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, through various means including robotic spacecraft, landers, and rovers. The primary objectives of Mars exploration are to understand the planet's geology, climate, and potential for life, both past and present. This may involve analyzing surface materials, studying atmospheric conditions, and searching for signs of water or microbial life. Mars exploration has been conducted through numerous missions by space agencies such as NASA, ESA, and others, beginning with flybys and orbiters and expanding to landers and rovers capable of conducting in-situ experiments. The exploration of Mars aims to advance our understanding of planetary processes, the potential for future human colonization, and broader questions about the origins and prevalence of life in the universe.
