A MISSION TO MARS
This manned mission to Mars was based on the planet’s state, photographic evidence and collected data samples to conduct the analysis. The crew utilized drilling materials and roving equipment for movement around Mars to facilitate this process. After descending into Mars surface, gathering of rock samples was carried out, although further analysis for the time remaining was hindered by the low pressure present. Also, the cold weather conditions demanded the use of special clothing and there was no conclusion with evidence on presence of water. The roving equipment captured photos indicating presence of water below the Martian surface. Though man’s mission to the moon has been the most publicized by media and the scientific community, there has been increased interest on missions to planet Mars, but this has mostly been based on robotic missions. Robotic missions have encouraged further explorations on the outer space as there is a possibility to prepare for future emissions with availability of photographic evidence and technological advancement. With visual capabilities, our team explored and collected information regarding human future. Mars has an easy accessibility from earth due to the fact that it is close and the most accommodating among the others, making the mission viable. It is crucial to implement technological values in this mission to allow adequate preparation since there has been no prior manned mission to Mars. Before the commencement
In overcoming the challenges along the way of the mission from launching to impact to egress, it has allowed scientists and organisations such as NASA to gather more information about the nature of the Mars, from the climate to the geology of the planet. The outcome and findings of this mission has been a success and influential in the way we explore other planets to find the possibility of past and/or present life on that planet. The rovers had discovered fluid and other deposits on the surface of the planet, which may indicate that life can survive on this planet. The uncovering of these physical environments has shaped the method and processes undertaken on other missions in order to succeed and deliver the necessary answers to the questions of the possibility of life

In conclusion, the passage, “Getting Ready to Live on Mars”, was important to read because it informed the reader about Mars simulations, and had many different main ideas, however only one central idea. The central idea of the passage was developed by quotes and expert opinions, and is partly states at the end of the passage. The central idea of the passage is that Mars simulations are helping eliminate some logistical and emotional conflicts that might occur on a real trip to Mars, and is developed by using expert opinions and
Mars has been an interesting planet to mankind for years now, and scientists have decided to take things into their own hands. They are making plans to put people on Mars to have them live there. Consequently, they would need to face many problems during the period of time preparing for the journey to mars. One of the many problems they would have to face, for example, is: How will they get food, water, or air? Well, you’re about to find out. In Jennifer L Holm’s fictional story, “Follow the Water”, she uses facts about Mars to help you imagine some of the problems characters would have to face, and how they would be able to fix them in reality.
On the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” He was the first astronaut to walk on the moon and this event was a significant point in history for space exploration. Now from the success of the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts will travel to Mars during the 2030’s and I want to take part in the excursion to the Red Planet. In the past couple of years, I have been obtaining knowledge about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the exploration to Mars. Ever since I was younger, I enjoyed spending time at night stargazing with friends and family as well as watching Star Wars, Star Trek, and other science fiction movies. Over the years my fascination for outer space
Preview Statement: The possibility of life on mars is an extravagant topic to look at. Before that, we must analyze Mars itself along with its conditions. First, we will talk about the ice caps located on Mars. Second, we will examine the water streaks on Mars. Third we will observe if the red planet is inhabitable for humans to conquer it.
NASA’s Curiosity team made history by drilling into ancient rock beds on the planet Mars. This was the first time in human history that such a feat on another planet has ever happened. The Curiosity rover robotically manned by a team from earth chose a basin known as “Yellowknife Bay” to begin its first drilling. The goal for Curiosity will be to enter the basin, obtain a foreign sample of rock and analyze the rock sample. This sample will be chemically analyzed to identify what elements it was composed of and if any organic molecules are still present. This is critically important because the obtainment of this sample may shed light in regards to the existence of water on Mars.
NASA researchers Nicole Herrman, Douglas Craig, and Patrick Troutman in their article “The Evolvable Mars Campaign-Study Status” outline characteristics of the Martian environment that can potentially aid a manned mission to Mars. Even though the environment on Mars is harmful to a living Earth organism (without a spacesuit) it aids our production of creating a stable environment for us and using our equipment. Some of the ways the NASA researchers have found about the Mars environment that can be use an accrued man mission comes in play of its been atmosphere Mars is moons in the lack of oxygen.
NASA has used both spacecr aft and robots to learn more about Mars. In 1965, Mariner 4 was the first NASA spacecraft to get a close look at the planet. In 1976, Viking 1 and Viking 2 were the first NASA spacecraft to land on Mars. They took pictures and explored the planet’s surface. Since then, more spacecraft have flown near or landed on Mars. They revealed Mars to be a barren world, without any signs of the life or civilizations people had imagined there. In 1971, Mariner 9 orbited Mars, mapping about 80 percent of the planet and discovering its volcanoes and
You’re given the opportunity to go to another planet besides Earth. Scientist have spent lifetimes trying to prove that there atleast some life on Mars and it has been proven. During the NASA mission that happened in 2012, scientist came to a discovery in early 2013, the rover came back with some information that Mars has had some habitable conditions in the past. The article also says that it came back from its first drilling with the following elements sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon. These are all considered as “building blocks” or a new fundamental of
Today’s scientists would agree that no planet has been more “steeped in myths and misconception” than Mars. Just about a hundred years ago, several scientists sincerely believed that extraterrestrial life was present on planet Mars, so the US government listened for radio signals from Mars until 1924. In movies such as Flight to Mars (1951), Mars was portrayed as a scary, mysterious place inhabited by hostile aliens which we know today is false. However, in 1965, NASA and JPL sent the first spacecraft, Mariner 4, to fly by Mars. Today, there are seven active missions that are being used to collect more data, including two rovers, Opportunity and Curiosity, which explore the surface.
The main purpose of this mission will seek evidence of organic compounds of biological and non-biological origin at the martian surface. It is important to conduct this mission because Mars is Earth's neighboring planet and it may have substances within it's surface that may be beneficial to the Earth's well-being. Even though there has been several missions to Mars and some still presently active, there was none dedicated to finding fossils/ evidence of ancient life on the planet. To conduct this mission a lander and a rover will be used to retrieve samples from the planet's surface, to conclude whether or not there has been life on Mars.
For multiple years, humans embarking space has been a hot and widespread topic. We have never landed upon the surface of Mars in all of our astronomical experiments, but in the 2030s, NASA desires to send ordinary astronauts to Mars to potentially inhabit the planet and start a new colony on another planet, other than Earth. Also in the next few years, a program by the name of SpaceX wants to send ordinary and untrained humans to fly around the moon in a spaceship. Mars has not only running water but also an atmosphere similar to Earth which makes Mars a great planet to colonize upon.
In the year 2045, a space mission to Mars is underway in the search to find another planet for the ever-growing population of the human race on earth. Eight astronauts aboard an Apollo Saturn rocket are headed on a trip to Mars, our nearest potentially habitable planet, in an effort to develop a human colony on a separate planet. The main goal of the mission is to determine if the basic needs for human life can be developed and supported on Mars so that more humans can be sent there to colonize the planet. These astronauts are the pioneers of interplanetary human space travel and research and have no guarantee of a safe return to Earth, let alone
As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Throughout one’s life dreams and goals come and go, yet one dream that has been held by many for centuries is the possibility of sending humans to Mars. Recently, though, this idea has been becoming more and more realistic, with space organizations worldwide discussing future plans and missions to go to the red planet. We are now at a point where the world is more capable than ever to achieve this goal with our collective information about the conditions on and of Mars, and vast space experience. There are, of course, many requirements and restrictions to doing this, however all of which are workable and manageable. For all these reasons and more, it is now very well plausible and attainable that in the near future we will be able to successfully send humans to Mars, as we are fully inclined to do so by our ingenuity, skill, and experience to further explore and understand the universe by which we are surrounded, despite the risks and costs that may be encountered.
