Mars Express

Mars Express is a spacecraft launched by the European Space Agency in 2003 to study Mars. It orbits the planet, gathering detailed data about its surface, atmosphere, and mineral composition. Equipped with cameras, spectrometers, and radar, it helps scientists understand Mars’ geology, climate history, and potential for past life. Its findings enhance our knowledge of the planet's environment and aid future exploration missions. Mars Express has significantly contributed to planetary science by providing high-resolution images and data, making it a vital tool for studying the Red Planet from orbit.
