Studying the history and current state of the Martian atmosphere.
Mars is a hostile environment that dictates how equipment and habitats are designed: Mars - NASA Science
Before any rocket launches, mission planners must define clear goals. Common objectives for Mars Exploration include:
Using current chemical propulsion, the one-way journey typically takes 7 to 9 months . 3. The Martian Environment Challenges
Determining if Mars ever supported microbial life.
The heavier the payload (rovers, habitats, or fuel), the more powerful the rocket must be to escape Earth's gravity.
Testing technologies for landing large payloads and surviving the harsh environment. 2. Launch Logistics
