  3. Sending Rovers • Scientists are sending probes/rovers to find evidence of water and life on other plants.

  4. First Probe {1965} • The first successful probe to take pictures of Mars was the Mariner 2.

  5. 1971 • Mariner 9 found evidence of water in the minerals on Mars.

  13. 2001 • Mars Odyssey found evidence of water ice in the Mars soil.

  14. Nasa • In 2003 Nasa was starting to develop a series of missions to bring samples from Mars & Probes sent to Mars.

  16. 2003 • Mars Express detected Methane. {which could indicate life}.
