New Mars

First the ISS, and now Mars? That’s what’s on the mind of the Canadian Space Agency, who want to participate in the NASA Mars 2007 ‘Smart Lander’ mission. The venture could cost Canada hundreds of millions of dollars if it gets the go-ahead, but would give the country’s scientists a chance to contribute experiments on the lander and perhaps make sure they can get their hands on samples of Mars soil future any future sample return missions.
