Mars Exploration Program

The Mars Exploration Program is a NASA-led initiative aimed at exploring Mars to understand its geology, climate, potential for past life, and suitability for future human missions. It uses various robotic missions, including orbiters, landers, and rovers, to gather data. Notable missions include the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance, which analyze soil and rock samples. The program's goals include searching for signs of ancient life, studying the planet’s environment, and preparing for human exploration, ultimately contributing to our knowledge of the solar system and our place in it.
