Mars is the only planet in the solar system with a firm surface and a transparent atmosphere, which permits to look at the ground. Since a couple of decades starting in the last century human science tries to solve the secrets of the neighbor planet. In the solar system Mars is most similar to earth and therefore almost predestined to look for manlike life. After first crucial successes of the Viking spaceships in 1970's the planet Mars moved into the focus of the modern research by means of robotic spaceships since the turn of the century .
I tried to collect some pages of interest regarding the topic "Investigation of the planet Mars" with special focus on the documentation of the historical events accompanied by a selection of the best photos, and less on reporting of accurate scientific details and results.
Please browse my pages. I think and hope that it conains some useful information for you.
