NASA's Journey to Mars

NASA is building up the capacities expected to send people to a space rock by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s – objectives illustrated in the bipartisan NASA Authorization Act of 2010 and in the U.S. National Space Policy, additionally issued in 2010.

Mars is a rich goal for logical disclosure and automated and human investigation as we grow our nearness into the close planetary system. Its arrangement and development are practically identical to Earth, helping us take in more about our own planet's history and future. Mars had conditions appropriate for life in its past. Future investigation could reveal confirmation of life, noting one of the major secrets of the universe: Does life exist past Earth?

While automated adventurers have contemplated Mars for over 40 years, NASA's way for the human investigation of Mars starts in low-Earth circle on board the International Space Station. Space explorers on the circling research center are helping us demonstrate a number of the advances and interchanges frameworks required for human missions to profound space, including Mars. The space station additionally progresses our comprehension of how the body changes in space and how to secure space explorer wellbeing.

Our following stage is profound space, where NASA will send a mechanical mission to catch and divert a space rock to circle the moon. Space travelers on board the Orion rocket will investigate the space rock in the 2020s, coming back to Earth with tests. This involvement in human spaceflight past low-Earth circle will help NASA test new frameworks and abilities, for example, Solar Electric Propulsion, which we'll have to send load as a component of human missions to Mars. Starting in FY 2018, NASA's effective Space Launch System rocket will empower these "demonstrating ground" missions to test new capacities. Human missions to Mars will depend on Orion and an advanced adaptation of SLS that will be the most capable dispatch vehicle at any point flown.

An armada of automated rocket and wanderers as of now are nearby Mars, drastically expanding our insight about the Red Planet and preparing for future human adventurers. The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity wanderer measured radiation while in transit to Mars and is sending back radiation information from the surface. This information will help us arrange for how to secure the space explorers who will investigate Mars. Future missions like the Mars 2020 wanderer, looking for indications of past life, likewise will show new innovations that could help space travelers get by on Mars.

Specialists and researchers around the nation are striving to build up the advancements space travelers will use to one day live and chip away at Mars, and securely return home from the following goliath jump for humankind. NASA likewise is a pioneer in a Global Exploration Roadmap, working with universal accomplices and the U.S. business space industry on a planned development of human nearness into the close planetary system, with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving objective.
