Mars Exploration

• The exploration of Mars has been an important
  part of the space exploration programs of the
  Soviet Union. Dozens of robotic spacecrafts,
  including orbiters,landers and rovers have
  launched towards Mars since 1960. These missions
  were aimed at gathering data about current
  conditions and answering questions about the
  history of Mars. The exploration of mars has come
  at a considerable financed cost with roughthly
  two thirds of all spacecraft destined for Mars
  failing before even completing their missions.

MOON EXPLORATION

• The physical exploration of the moon began when
  the Luna two, the space probe launched by the
  soviet union, impacted the surface of the moon on
  September 1959.Crossing the gap between the earth
  and the moon takes three days. During the
  1960s,Nasa put huge amounts of time and money
  into preparing its crewed lunar mission called
  the Apollo programme.Astronaughts trained in
  orbit aboard the one Man Mercury and the two man
  Gemini spacecraft while engineers on the ground
  designed a three part spacecraft to carry the
  astronaughts to the moon , and built huge Saturn
  V rockets 111 metres (363 feet) high to launch.
