A Trip to Mars

By now, a rocket will have set off on its 35-million-mile trip to Mars and scientists must be waiting anxiously for the results. The rocket will be traveling for 6 months before it reaches the planet. It contains a number of scientific instruments including a televisions camera. Any pictures that are taken will have to travel for three minutes before they reach the Earth. If the pictures are successful, they may solve a number of problems about Mars and provide information about the marking on its surface which, nearly 100 years ago the astronomer, Schiapareli, thought to be canals.

It will be a long time before any landing on March can be attempted. This was only possible when scientists have learnt a lot more about the atmosphere that surrounds the planet. If a satellite can be one day be put into orbit around Mars, scientist will be able to find out a great deal. An interesting suggestion for measuring the atmosphere around Mars has been put forward.

Rubber ball containing radio transmitter could be dropped from the satellite so that it would be fall toward the surface of the planet. The radio would signal the rate at which the ball was slowed down and the scientist would be able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is. It may even be possible to drop a capsule containing scientific instruments on the planet's surface. Only when, a great deal more information has been obtained, will it be possible the plan a manned trip to Mars.
