| Event Name: | Mars and the UK-yesterday and tomorrow |
| Event Description: | Mars is the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. In the distant past, liquid water flowed on its surface leading scientists to belieive it is the most likely (currently-known) planet to host extra-terrestrial life. By exploring Mars, we can determine whether there has ever been life. The IET are holding an event on the importance of Mars exploration. At this evening seminar, two UK space professionals involved in Mars exploration missions will outline the technical challenges, including: sending a spacecraft to Mars and landing on the surface give an overview of Mars exploration to date and detail the UK's contribution to it discuss the Beagle-2 (the 2003 British Mars spacecraft though lost but discovered in January this year to have actually landed successfully) discuss the ExoMars (the 2018 European astrobiology mission being built in Stevenage and to which the UK is second-largest financial contributor). |
