Mars Scout Program
Konceptbild av Phoenix
Mars Scout Program är ett nytt NASA-program för små, billiga uppdrag till Mars, utvalda från innovativa förslag av en vetenskaplig kommitté. Det första planerade uppdraget i detta program är "Phoenix", från början en landare som skulle ersätta det nedlagda uppdraget Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander. Enligt planerna ska Phoenix skjutas upp i augusti, 2007 och ska landa på den isiga nordpolen på planeten.
Det andra scout-uppdraget tittar man på och uppskjutning är planerad till 2011.

Mars Hubble.jpg
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
