The work provided the true daily positions of the sun for four Julian years from 1088 to 1092, the true positions of the five planets every 5 or 10 days over a period of 8 years for Venus, 79 years for Mars, and so forth, as well as other related tables.

This mound on Mars ' north pole may be the result of an impact crater that was buried by sediment and subsequently re-exposed by erosion.

His interest in space, however, was his primary focus, especially after reading science fiction stories by writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, which stirred his imagination about life on other planets, such as Mars.

It was a joke call from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory concerning the preparation of the Mars Rovers ( Spirit and Opportunity ) for the oncoming Martian winter.

Although first introduced by Hebert Candies in 1955, Mars, Incorporated was the first to produce white chocolate within the United States.

Mars was the planet most often used in storylines in Cowboy Bebop.

Toba explained that it was not possible for the staff of Cowboy Bebop to have a dramatic rooftop scene occur on Venus, so " we ended up normally falling back to Mars ".

EUROPA II was used to support the Phoenix Mars Lander and will support the upcoming Mars Science Laboratory.

* Launch of the Mars sample return mission.

* Fobos-Grunt and Yinghuo-1 – 8 November 2011 – Phobos orbiter, lander and sample return ( Russia ), Mars orbiter ( China ) – failed to escape Earth orbit

In 1994, the pop group Stereolab recorded a tribute to her, " International Colouring Contest ", on their album Mars Audiac Quintet ; the intro of the song includes a voice sample of Pamela herself (

However, the sixties pop group The Turtles sued De La Soul for using a sample from their 1969 hit " You Showed Me " for the interlude track " Transmitting Live from Mars ", despite the fact that The Turtles did not actually write the original song.

Later research explains the Mars effect by selection bias, favouring champions who were born in a key sector of Mars and rejecting those who were not from the sample.

It appeared to him that the test had minimised the significance of the Mars / key-sector correlations with athletes by splitting the sample of athletes and that the experimenters, who were supposed to be upholding scientific standards, were actually distorting and manipulating evidence to conceal the result of an ill-considered test.

It must be a well-designed peer-reviewed study that would replicate the Mars Effect at a decent significance level involving a non-biased selection of eminent athletes ( eminence being defined before the data is analyzed ) and performed in a way that insures the complete independence of the athlete sample from the sample available at the time the Mars Effect was first described as eminent athletes being born more often under planet Mars in sectors 1 and 4 ".

The 1989 debut album by hip-hop combo De La Soul featured an uncredited sample from the Turtles ( specifically, the intro to " You Showed Me "), in the song " Transmitting Live from Mars ".

Because of the simplicity of sample handling, TV – GC – MS is still considered the standard method for organic detection on future Mars missions, so Navarro-González suggests that the design of future organic instruments for Mars should include other methods of detection.

* Mars Sample Return Mission — The best life detection experiment proposed is the examination on Earth of a soil sample from Mars.

The sample was ejected from Mars about 17 million years ago and spent 11, 000 years in or on the Antarctic ice sheets.

Nier designed the miniature mass spectrometers used by the Viking Landers to sample the atmosphere of Mars.

NEXT would demonstrate key enabling capabilities, such as descent and precision landing, needed for a future Mars sample return mission.

A girlfriend recalled his " scrawling notes on a cocktail napkin about a crazy rock star named Iggy or Ziggy ", and on his return to England he declared his intention to create a character " who looks like he's landed from Mars ".

This relatively simple chemical engineering procedure was utilized regularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, and would ensure that only 7 % of the return propellant would need to be carried to the surface of Mars.

To return, the crew would use the Earth Return Vehicle, leaving the Mars Habitat Unit for the possible use of subsequent explorers.

The upper stage comprises the living accommodation for the crew during their six-month return trip to Earth from Mars.

The ERV remains in Mars orbit for the return journey, while the unmanned MAV lands and manufactures propellants for the ascent back up to Mars orbit.

He questions the delay and cost-to-benefit ratio of first establishing a base or outpost on an asteroid or another Apollo Program-like return to the Moon, as neither would be able to provide all of its own oxygen, water, or energy ; these resources are producible on Mars, and he expects people would be there thereafter.

Mars Society founder Robert Zubrin produced a plan for a Mars return mission called Mars Direct that would set up a permanent human presence on Mars and steer efforts towards eventual terraformation .< ref >

* July 14 – U. S. spacecraft Mariner 4 flies by Mars, becoming the first spacecraft to return images from the Red Planet.

The conical VISTA spacecraft could deliver a 100-tonne payload to Mars orbit and return to Earth in 130 days, or to Jupiter orbit and back in 403 days.

It was intended to go into Mars orbit and return images and data.

The Mars 4 and Mars 5 orbiters, launched in 1973, were designed to orbit Mars and return information on the composition, structure, and properties of the Martian atmosphere and surface.
