Life on Mars For centuries people have speculated about the possibility of life on Mars owing to the planet’s proximity and similarity to Earth. Serious searches for evidence of life began in the 19th century‚ and continue via telescopic investigations and landed missions. While early work focused on phenomenology and bordered on fantasy‚ modern scientific inquiry has emphasized the search for chemical biosignatures of life in the soil and rocks at the planet’s surface‚ and the search for biomarker

Colonization of Mars What does a planet need to have in order to support life? Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet that is supporting life. Some scientists go so far as to say that the Earth is a “perfect planet” because it has features that are the perfect environment for living organisms; these features include our atmosphere‚ water‚ and a single moon. Earth is also in a place in our solar system where the Sun gives off the right amount of energy to drive the

delivered with the first crew astronauts. As soon as possible‚ Mars One will try to supply the settlement with methodologies to produce habitable volume from mostly Martian materials‚ in order to significantly expand the settlement. Our goal is to enable them to construct a space 10 meters wide by 50 meters long. This will be a spacious environment in which to live‚ where they can also grow trees. Such a large living volume will make Mars a much nicer place to live. Maintenance: will be

Mars is the planet nearest to Earth that we are most likely to explore and send manned missions to. It also is the planet that we have the best chance of finding life on. For both these things water is needed so exploration of Mars by space probes has concentrated on looking for water. Humans have searched for evidence of water on Mars for many years. In 1895 American astronomer Percival Lowell thought that he had seen canals on the surface of Mars. These were disproved as tricks of the

The planet Mars is the fourth farthest planet from the sun. Mars is very similar to our planet‚ but it also contains some different attributes that make it unique. In the past years‚ Mars has increasingly been in the limelight for astronomers as they continue to study the fascinating qualities of Mars‚ more specifically looking to see if life exists on the planet. Although Mars is very close to Earth‚ there is a great amount of unknown history from the planet. Mars was named by the Romans after

is to locate evidence of current of past life underground and to test the ability of Mars to sustain life. Using the research conducted in past‚ current‚ and future Mars missions‚ this mission proposes three questions about Mars that correlate to the Mars Exploration Program (MEP) science goals and guide the mission. 1. Is there a possibility that life is inhabiting below the surface of Mars? 2. Does Mars “have fossils‚ which would lead to the assumption of past life or is this process only
