The History of Martian Exploration
As our closest neighbour in the solar system, Mars has long held the fascination of scientists and the community alike. It has been the subject of many expeditions since the 1970s. With several new missions set to arrive at the red planet this month including a new rover landing last month, it seems like the perfect opportunity to look back on what we have learnt so far, before looking forward to the future.
