Mars Missions refer to the various space exploration endeavors aimed at studying the planet Mars. These missions are conducted by different space agencies, most notably NASA, but also include efforts from ESA (European Space Agency), CNSA (China National Space Administration), and others. Mars Missions can involve orbiters, landers, and rovers designed to gather data about the planet’s atmosphere, geology, climate, and potential for past or present life. Objectives may include mapping the surface, analyzing soil samples, searching for water, and understanding the planet’s habitability and potential for human exploration in the future. Notable Mars missions include the Mars Rover missions such as Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance, as well as orbiters like Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. These missions have significantly advanced our understanding of Mars and its similarities and differences with Earth.
