United Arab Emirates

Sarah al-Amiri, who leads the science portion of the mission, said she had felt a full of range of emotions when the spacecraft was launched last summer. But as it approached Mars, she said, “This is further intensifying them.”.

The Hope Spacecraft

The United Arab Emirates’ first Mars mission aims to investigate the Martian atmosphere. The orbiter’s giant solar panel wings will deploy in space after launch.

The Hope mission is an unusual collaboration ...ce Physics, a research institute at the University of Colorado that has been working on space missions for more than half a century.

China

China's Tianwen-1 mission successfully reached Mars orbit on Wednesday after a nearly 7-month journey from Earth, Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua confirmed.

China's ambitious Tianwen-1 mission features an orbiter, a lander and a rover. Tianwen-1 means "Questions to Heaven" and comes from an ancient Chinese poem, Xinhua reported.

Tianwen-1 is expected to orbit Mars over the next few months and survey potential landing sites for a May or June landing. After the landing, the rover will explore the Red Planet and conduct scientific experiments, according to Xinhua.

Perseverance, nicknamed Percy, is a car -sized Mars rover designed to explore the Jezero crater on Mars as part of NASA 's Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was launched on 30 July 2020, at 7:50 a.m. EDT (11:50 UTC ), and is scheduled to land on Mars on 18 February 2021, 3 p.m EST/8 p.m UTC.

Ingenuity, a technology experiment, is preparing to attempt the first powered, controlled flight on the Red Planet.

The helicopter, which weighs about 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) on Earth and has a fuselage about the size of a tissue box, started out six years ago as an implausible prospect. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California knew it was theoretically possible to fly in Mars’ thin atmosphere, but no one was sure whether they could build a vehicle powerful enough to fly, communicate, and survive autonomously with the extreme restrictions on its mass.

At the landing site of Jezero Crater, Perseverance will seek signs of ancient life and demonstrate technologies for making oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, provide surface weather updates, and demonstrate the first controlled, powered flight on another planet with the Ingenuity helicopter.

During the webinar, NASA science, technology, and engineering experts involved with the mission will share more about how technology developments have enabled a return to Mars and will advance exploration of it in the future with both robots and astronauts.

LMAO @ the sheep... Stanley Kubrick already showed and told us how they transmit these fake space fims and footage... he should know...he produced them...you'll be watching a stream live from some remote desert location in Nevada somewhere... omg people fall for anything.... STILL

On March 7th Kubrick will have been dead for 22 years. Yet the world keeps moving forward. Wonder why?

because, in case you didnt know, people die everyday...are you saying because he eventually died, that he was lying?...OR, did they kill him for revealing too much?..AND what does Kubrick being dead have to do with the lies the US Goverment and Media have been telling people for years about anything?

...your rebuttal is even more asinine than the concept of human beings and/or their vehicles, succesfully travelling into "outer space"

Yuh huh. You do know NASA is a US based company they don't run the world. List of countries with missions to Mars are as follows: China. India. Japan. Russia. Soviet Union. United Arab Emirates. United Kingdom. United States.

and not one of those countries has ever sent a craft outside of the Earth's atmosphere.. not one...there is no evidence anywhere...the pictures youve seen of "Mars" and other alleged spacial bodies are not actual photographs, but merely illustrations and artististic renderings.. it is impossible to breach the Earth's atmosphere and firmament and enter so-called "space"... the "space programs" of all these different countries is a multilateral fraud... a great deception upon the inhabitants of the Earth... a co-ordinated effort by several nations...just like the coordinated military and government treaties that are in place to preserve and conceal the REAL truths about Antarctica.

If you're so well informed about the whole subject, you surely have real sources to back it up, right? RIGHT?! Can you tell us why the nations would fake space travells? How would they benefit from it?

"why would they fake it?"?... why would Europe enslave Africa?...why would Hitler commit genocide?...why did Marxism exist?...why do NATO troops invade and bomb sovereign countries all over the Earth?...theyre all the same reasons, as why any goverment lies to its people...as a means of control..and as a means to support the other false doctrines, lies, and propoganda that have been disseminated throughout the course of history by the European Nations (ie, NATO, NASA, European Union) beginning as far back as The First Council Of Nicaea...if you need to know more, do your own knowledge...its easily available for those with eyes ears and sound minds...im not gonna argue and bicker back and forth with fools who mock... you go ahead and believe all the things that your schoolbooks and government leaders and newscasters tell you... thats a fool's folly...but again im not here to share pearls with pigs, so go ahead and mock if you will...the truths will be made manifest TO ALL in due time...if you want sources. i gave you the breadcrumbs, now you can cook on your own...im not here to be mocked and im not your mentor..the information again is easily available...i dont make this stuff up

So you compare a conspiracy theory about space travel being fake as hell to slavery and the holocaust? Slavery and the holocaust really happened. And I know the likes of you saying: "Do your own research". "Google it, or watch youtube videos", is what they mean by that.

A Muslim eh.

if thats what you got out of that, bless your confused heart... but i already knew how you'd respond...its cool tho...do you, Bro...and by the way i knew of these things well BEFORE the internet was even invented...

I could literally overwhelm this server (I will not) with information regarding Perseverance alone provided by literally hundreds to thousands of individuals both live and dead. Covering details few if anyone on here has even thought about. Yet your most affirming proof on the takedown of all of NASA is a Utube vid of footage over 2.5 decades old that iirc even Kubrick is said to have debunked. I mean what?

keep the faith!

The launch of a rocket carrying China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe

THE MOON

RETURN TO THE MOON...

Extensive government spending is spurring the most intense lunar R&D since the Apollo program. 2019 saw the landing of China’s Chang’e 4 lander and surface exploration by their Yutu 2 rover, along with the landing failures of Israel’s Beresheet lander and India’s Vikram lander. While we won’t see another US-built lunar landing until at least 2021, NASA’s Artemis program is providing funding to advance many nascent space resource technologies while promising to return people to the Moon.

China continued progress on its ambitions space program by landing the Chang’e 4 lander in Von Kármán crater[8] on the far side of the Moon on January 3, 2019. This was the first mission to land on the far side of the Moon, requiring a dedicated communications relay satellite in orbit to maintain communication between Earth and the lander. The lander hosted a biosphere where cottonseed, rapeseed, and potato seeds all sprouted a few days after landing, although they all succumbed to the extreme cold of the lunar night.

Additionally, the Yutu-2 rover far surpassed its 3 month planned life, holding the current record as the longest surviving lunar rover. Both the lander and rover use solar power for electricity generation and radioisotope heater units for heat generation. Chang’e 4 paves the way for China’s Chang’e 5 mission that is planned to launch in 2020. Chang’e 5 is expected to collect and return up to 2 kilograms of lunar material to Earth, the first lunar samples since the Russian Luna 24 mission in 1976.

Israel’s Beresheet lunar lander had less success at landing on the Moon. While descending towards the surface, an anomaly occurred that caused the lander to descent too quickly and crash into the surface. This was the first privately funded lander to touchdown (albeit in a crash) on the Moon. SpaceIL has indicated its drive to try another lunar landing soon.

India also experienced a failed lunar landing with their Vikram lander. A computer anomaly occurred during descent that caused the lander to crash into the surface at high speed. Despite this, the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter has continued to operate successfully, providing very high quality images of the lunar surface. Its mission is to survey the abundance of lunar water, providing guidance for follow-on missions.

Not being content with only small lunar landers, NASA invited additional commercial firms[9] capable of providing larger landers to the CLPS initiative, including Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada, and SpaceX. These three firms, in addition to Boeing, are also contending for NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS) program, which will deliver humans to the lunar surface within the Artemis program. Artemis is unique compared to the Apollo program because the stated goal is to not only return humans to the Moon, but to establish a sustainable, long-term presence on the Moon.

Rather than developing lunar landers in-house, NASA is soliciting public-private partnerships with companies to develop these next generation landers. Multiple payload delivery services should foster competition, lower costs, and increase access for commercial operations on the lunar surface. NASA awarded three contracts in mid-2019 to Astrobotic, Intuitive Machines, and OrbitBeyond, who are required to build flight capable, small robotic landers capable of delivering at least 10 kg of payload by the end of 2021 (OrbitBeyond has since dropped out).

Despite NASA’s steadfast push towards realizing Artemis’ programmatic goals, a growing cohort of space exploration advocates believe that offworld settlements should be established without a bureaucratic government agency at the helm. The Open Lunar Foundation[10] came out of stealth mode in 2019, with a vision towards low-cost and open-source settlement of the Moon. While specific details are scant, the public figures supporting Open Lunar are major thought leaders with decades of space exploration experience, lending significant credibility to the venture. Despite the approach taken, establishing a sustainable lunar presence is the most critical objective.

The US government wants to return humans back to the Moon by 2024 through the Artemis program, an international collaboration between NASA, ESA, JAXA, CSA, and US commercial companies. Initialized via the 2017 Space Policy Directive 1, the program received its timeline and name during 2019. Multiple support programs and projects are part of the Artemis program, including the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program and the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER). Additionally, Artemis requires launch vehicles capable of delivering the Orion, Lunar Gateway, and CLPS landers to the Moon. The Space Launch System (SLS) is NASA’s primary ride at the moment, although unexpected delays may change this.
