Mars exploration missions

Mars exploration missions involve sending spacecraft, rovers, and landers to study the Red Planet's surface, atmosphere, and climate. These missions aim to understand Mars' geology, search for signs of past life, and assess its habitability. Rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance carry scientific instruments to analyze soil, rocks, and environmental conditions. Orbiters map the planet from above, providing context for surface discoveries. Missions also test technologies for future human exploration, such as powered landing systems and life support. Together, these efforts deepen our knowledge of Mars and lay the groundwork for potential human presence.
