Water On Mars

In overcoming the challenges along the way of the mission from launching to impact to egress, it has allowed scientists and organisations such as NASA to gather more information about the nature of the Mars, from the climate to the geology of the planet. The outcome and findings of this mission has been a success and influential in the way we explore other planets to find the possibility of past and/or present life on that planet. The rovers had discovered fluid and other deposits on the surface of the planet, which may indicate that life can survive on this planet. The uncovering of these physical environments has shaped the method and processes undertaken on other missions in order to succeed and deliver the necessary answers to the questions of the possibility of life

A question that has been asked for many reasons in the space world: Is there life on other planets? A mission called Curiosity launched in 2011. Curiosity has been on Mars since August.Curiosity’s goal was to find signs of water and see if Mars was suitable for life. The surprising fact on Mars is there is presence of water. One key element was Mars once had habitable conditions and there looks to be ice on the planet. Curiosity has been using a camera to take photos of Mars. It is much like the panoramic camera we have on Earth. Both cameras have the same material incorporated in them and are used for the same purpose.

In last couple year’s evidence of water on mars has grown exponentially. The geography of Mars suggests that water was once there. This is because they have found runoff channels in the southern highlands and outflow channels that are almost exact to how they are on Earth, which obviously does have water. The Mars Reconnaissance Observer and Mars Express found deposits of clay in the southern highlands that some researchers say is a strong sign that water was there. Some others argue that the clay could be formed by other elements on Mars, such as wind. Also, the Mars Express detected hydrated’ chemical compounds in the surface of rocks over large areas, which means it

evidence to show that water is in existence today. Looked tidally by Mars are two moons;

Before the sailor flybys in the 1960s, scientist thought Mars had water and life, even if it was just some sort of plantlike lichen. Mars has water, frozen underground and at the polar caps. There is (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) that this water has, in the past and present, flooded the surface in liquid from. Signs of wearing away can be

Life is unpredictable and that is the beauty of science fiction; writers are able to create a world, which is plausible enough to engage an audience and suck them into a world they may have never experienced before reading that book. The human condition, in these very situations, becomes delicate and fragile even though real people have not lived through them because these sci-fi worlds relate to moments we all understand. The themes of fear, survival, persistence, resilience, and the power of the human spirit are undeniable experiences that transcends all cultural barriers and languages. All of these also hold true in the book The Martian, written by Andy Weir. Although all of these themes hold true in The Martian, the theme of ingenuity shows

Preview Statement: The possibility of life on mars is an extravagant topic to look at. Before that, we must analyze Mars itself along with its conditions. First, we will talk about the ice caps located on Mars. Second, we will examine the water streaks on Mars. Third we will observe if the red planet is inhabitable for humans to conquer it.

For countless decades, speculations have been made on the possibility of life on Mars. There have been questions of pictures taken from Mars and skepticism about why some of the recent landings have failed. Scientists, until now, have been doubtful about life on Mars. The reason being is because of the similarities it has to our planet; from the volcanoes, and canyons to the weather, different seasons, and even the amount of time in a day. But throughout all of these speculations, what does research have to say on the possibility of life on Mars? Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars is also often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. It’s polar diameter is 6752 km with an orbit distance of 227,943,824 km. Even though Mars has only 15% of the Earth’s volume and just over 10% of the Earth’s mass, around two thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in water.

Spirit stumbled across rocks that pointed to an earlier, unrulier Mars that was marked by impacts, explosive volcanism and subsurface water [source: NASA Mars]. "Water is key because almost everywhere we find water on Earth we find life," NASA's Web site. However, we are still unsure life existed on Mars.

Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, and is one of four terrestrial planets that includes Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Mars began its formation 4.6 billion years ago, along with the rest of the solar system. On the surface of Mars, there are large channels that appear to have been carved out by flowing water. Although nothing is certain, there is overwhelming support for the idea that Mars did in fact have flowing water on its surface. There is strong evidence to prove this, hence the channels, but if Mars did have water, where did it all go? Today, Mars is much too cold for water to exists. There is no atmosphere to contain the water if it did exist, so it would go straight from solid ice to water vapor, never reaching its liquid stage (“The Case of Missing Mars Water,” 2001). One theory for the disappearance of water on Mars

Water on Mars is very hard to find. Since the planet used to have water most of it is frozen underground. “The bad new is that most of that water is frozen underground and likely contains toxic chemicals.” The water that is dug up would have to be purified and preserved. Georgie’s father said that in the canyon there was “water-soluble mineral deposits” near the edge of the canyon. Georgie’s father said that “ I figure drill 400 meters down, and we’ll hit water”

4 of the planets are in the habitable zone, meaning they could potentially support life. Meanwhile we have a planet that could have had life right here in our own solar system,“But the discovery that liquid water was once present on the Martian surface means, in Bortman's view, that living organisms might have been there, too.” (“There may have been”). The fact that mars may have held life is incredible, and realistic, after all where there is water there is life.“What the evidence does indicate, though, is that Mars was once a habitable world” (“There may have been”) which goes to show that while we don't have any specimen to examine, we can look at the facts and see that life did exist a one point in

Currently NASA is working on exploring Mars. They send rovers to collect samples of the Mars terrain. NASA has found some sort of plant life on Mars which leads them to believe that there is water on Mars or previously was. This

Would you believe me if i said there was water on mars, probably not, so i´ll explain, Nasa (

Mars is the planet nearest to Earth that we are most likely to explore and send
