Mars Cubed by MarCO CubeSats Jigsaw Puzzle

Ad: Mars Cubed by MarCO CubeSats Jigsaw Puzzle

The Mars Cube One or MarCO CubeSats are twin small spacecraft that accompanied the InSight lander on its mission to the red planet. MarCO-A and MarCO-B relayed the first radio transmissions from InSight as it landed on Mars and sent back the first pictures from the surface. Both CubeSats then continued on to orbit the Sun after completing their mission. Cube satellites are based on a small standardized modular technology that can be used to build inexpensive spacecraft systems for Earth orbit or interplanetary travel. myMarsSpace

Mars 2020 Rover Classic Round Sticker

Ad: Mars 2020 Rover Classic Round Sticker NASA's Mars 2020 Rover mission is the next robotic exploration program to the red planet launching aboard an Atlas V rocket in July of 2020 and landing at the Jezero crater on Mars in February 2021. It will perform its scientific activities over at least one Mars year of 687 Earth days continuing the work started by Curiosity InSight Spirit and Opportunity. A unique feature of the mission is that the Mars 2020 rover will collect samples from rocks and soils and cache them for return to Earth on a later mission. Other technology will extract oxygen from the largely carbon dioxide atmosphere on Mars to prove that astronauts can generate breathable air when they land in future decades. myMarsSpace #mars #planet #rover #spacecraft #ClassicRoundSticker
