Mars - The Red Planet

Even though it is a small

rocky planet, Mars has captured the imagination and scienti?c interest of humans for centuries.

Knowledge about the

red planet has increased with robotic missions.

NASA sent its ? rst

successful mission to

Mars in 1964. Numerous

orbiters, landers, and rovers have followed and will continue over the next few decades.

The Vision for Space

Exploration calls for

NASA to return to

the moon and use increasingly longer stays to prepare for human missions to Mars.

Through exploration and

research, many myths such as Mars having an

Earth-like atmosphere

and climate supporting canals with ? owing water and vegetation have been dismissed and much insight into the formation and evolution of the red planet has been gained. Mars is not the closest planetary neighbor to Earth, but it is the most Earth-like. It is the fourth closest planet to the Sun. Mars has been subjected to some of the planetary processes associated with the formation of

Mercury, Venus and

Earth. These processes

include volcanism, impact events, erosion, and other atmospheric effects. Another Earth- like characteristic is the growth and retreat of the Martian polar ice caps with the change of seasons as Mars orbits the Sun.

The red planet and

Earth differ in a number

of ways. The Martian surface retains much of the record of its evolution because it had liquid water only during part of its evolution.

Mars does experience

surface erosion, but due to the absence of ?owing water over much of its geologic history, the rate of erosion of the red planet"s surface is much slower than that of the Earth, and the surface features have not shown the same level of dramatic changes that characterize

Earth"s landscape. The

geological development and alteration of Mars" crust, called tectonics, differs from Earth"s.

Martian tectonics seem

to be vertical, with hot lava pushing upwards through the crust to the surface. On the other hand, Earth tectonics also involve sliding plates that grind against each other or spread apart on the sea? oors and along fault lines.

Exploration of the

Martian surface by

imaging orbiters has revealed some remarkable geological characteristics. Mars lays claim to the largest volcanic mountain in the solar system.

Olympus Mons is about

17 miles high and 373

miles wide. Volcanoes in the northern Tharsis region are so huge that they deformed the planet"s spherical shape.

The Vallis Marineris,

a gigantic equatorial rift valley, stretches a distance equivalent to the distance from New

York to Los Angeles.

Arizona"s Grand Canyon

could easily ? t into one of the side canyons of this great chasm.

The Martian atmosphere

which primarily is composed of carbon dioxide gas is currently too thin to allow liquid water to exist.

Seasonally, great dust

storms occur that engulf the entire planet. The storms" effects are dramatic, including dunes, wind streaks and wind-carved features.

There is no evidence

of civilizations, and it is unlikely that there are any existing life forms, but there may be fossils of life-forms from a time when the climate was warmer and there was liquid water on the surface.
