NASA's '''Mars Global Surveyor''' was launched on November 7, 1996 from [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station]] (Florida) on a McDonnell Douglas-built [[Delta II]]-7925 rocket. ''Mars Global Surveyor'' was the first successful US mission launched to Mars in 20 years since the [[:category:Viking Program|Viking]] mission in 1976. On November 2, 2006 it was lost due to loss of power (through incorrect alignment of the solar panels). On arriving into Mars orbit, the [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]] made attempts to image the lost ''Mars Global Surveyor'' so mission control could diagnose the problem, but the spacecraft could not be found.

Growing plants in a '''Greenhouse''' delivers [[oxygen]] and [[food]]. It can play an important part in human recreation ([[Mars Garden Wins Gold at London’s Chelsea Flower Show (MarsHome.org)|Mars Garden]]) and may be a good location for [[funeral]]s and burials. The [[sunlight]] is not bright enough on Mars to allow usual terrestrial plants to thrive, but it provides a valuable part of light energy for plants. Additional [[energy]] is necessary for lighting and heating. '''([[Greenhouse|read more]])'''
