Full-Spectrum Science Online: Countdown to Mars

Mars is an unforgiving target for spacecraft. Less than half of all missions to the Red Planet have been successful - though all of NASA's rover missions there, including Pathfinder/Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity, have overwhelmingly succeeded.

We'll examine past missions and look ahead to the landing and roving of Perseverance.
