Two robotic spacecraft began a seven-month journey to the Red Planet today (March 14), blasting off together atop a Russian Proton-M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 5:31 a.m. EDT | | The ExoMars mission launched Monday (March 14) and packs an orbiter as well as an ambitious Mars lander prototype that will make the challenging descent to a controlled landing on the Martian surface. | | | The ExoMars launch comes just a few years after the failed Russian-Chinese Fobos-Grunt mission, which lifted off in November 2011 but never made it beyond Earth orbit. Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed. | | The European/Russian ExoMars mission carries the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS), which will examine the dark seasonal streaks on crater slopes that may be briny water, and the Nadir and Occultation for MArs Discovery (NOMAD). | | You are receiving this email because 1.)
