Touching Mars: 1998 status of the Mars Robotic Exploration Program

Acta Astronautica, 1999
Abstract The Mars Robotic Exploration Program is sending missions every 26 months to orbit and land on Mars and, in 2005, to return a sample to Earth. The highly successful Mars Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor missions were launched in 1996. Mars Surveyor 98 will launch in December 1998 and January 1999, to be followed by an orbiter, lander and ...
