Starting in 2004, the evidence of the presence of water on Mars has been mounting. The [[Opportunity]] rover discovered geological markers - stratification and cross-bedding - near its landing site which pointed to significant flows of water at some time in Mars' history. Around the same time the [[Mars Express]] orbiter detected the spectral evidence of water present in the polar regions. In 2005, Mars Express confirmed this by locating an area of solid water ice near the north pole. The [[Phoenix]] lander confirmed the existence of water ice in Mars. '''[[Water|read more]]'''

Mars 2020 Rover - Artist's Rendering

Mars 2020 is a Mars rover mission by NASA's Mars Exploration Program with a planned launch in 2020.

The as-yet unnamed Mars 2020 was announced by NASA on 4 December 2012 at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. The rover's design will be derived from the Curiosity rover, but will carry a different scientific payload. Nearly 60 proposals for rover instrumentation were evaluated and, on 31 July 2014, NASA announced the payload for the rover. read more See all featured articles | Nominate!
