Or was there? The Search for Life on Mars Is There Life on Mars ? Or was there? The Search for Life on Mars

Major Mars Probes… successful Probe Arrived Type Agency Mariner 4, 1965 Flyby US Mariner 6 & 7 1969 Flybys US Mariner 9 1971 First Orbiter US Olympus Mons & Valles Marineris Discovered Viking 1 & 2 1976 Lander/Orbiter US First Landers…No sign of Life Mars Global Surveyor 1997 Orbiter US Mars Accurately Mapped

21st century Active Mars probes Probe Arrived Type Agency Mars Odyssey 2001 Orbiter US Mars Express/Beagle 2003 Orbiter OK Lander Failed EU MER-B Opportunity 2004 Rover US MER-A Spirit 2004 Rover US Stopped Communications in 2011 Rosetta 2007 Flyby EU Mars Recon 2006 Orbiter US Dawn June 2009 Flyby on way to Vesta US Phoenix 2008 Lander US Phoenix investigated the presence of water ice under the Surface of Mars near the Northern Ice Cap. Water Ice was found but the soil was not good for supporting life

Current Missions continued The Mars Science laboratory (Curiosity) Launch: 12/2011 Arrived: 2012 By NASA (US) Type: Rover with Chemical and Physical analysis abilities MAVEN Type: Orbiter design to measure atmosphere and its loss Launch: 11/2013 Arrived: 9/2014 By NASA (US) There are many more planned in the coming years Including By Nasa A lander (2016..postponed), Orbiter (3/2016) , and Rovers (2018 & 2020) Also By Russia, China, the EU and Private corporations

Manned mission to Mars ? More recently Elon Musk of Space-Ex has proposed a manned mission to Mars NASA has also proposed a mission, and Trump backs it. Many societies have formed world-wide with putting Humans on Mars as a goal
