The expedition's report did, however, note that water could easily be produced through conversion of available elements, and that the planet could readily be made suitable for human habitation through the use of pressurized enclosures.
The next year another expedition was dispatched to Saturn under the command of Colonel Shaun Jeffrey Christopher, a 49-year-old veteran of the Eugenics War who had subsequently joined UESEA and moved his family to Mars.
The loss of the expedition, with the implication that there were as yet unknown forces in interstellar space with which even the most advanced technology could not cope, put a damper on the plans of UESPA's visionaries, and advocates of further space exploration generally.

The archeological expedition carefully copied the mysterious signs on the temple walls, and the hieroglyphs gave rise to endless disputes and heated debates among Egyptologists.
They believed that failures of automated interplanetary space stations to land on Mars were closely connected with the mysterious hieroglyphs discovered on the walls of ancient temples.
He says there were no interplanetary expeditions from other star systems to this planet in the old times.

MDRS is one of a series of stations offering researchers the opportunity to carry out their work in a remote, Mars-like environment to better understand how people will be able to live and work effectively on the Red Planet.
"Expedition Beta will expose a selected group of researchers to a typical Mars analog working environment, and will cross-train participants in several exploration-related disciplines outside of their expertise through a series of hands-on workshops, and collaborative field research.
Expedition Beta will be the second in a series of training missions, building on the success of 2004's Expedition Alpha to MDRS, and previous large-scale

In other words, the prime objective of InterPlanetary eXpeditions is not purely the knowledge of the history of the civilizations,but instead it is to find artifacts of extinct or lost civilization that had a higher degree of technology, and to adapt the knowledge to improve Earth's own, primarily weapon's tech.
The Za'ha'Dum expedition was consecutive to the unearthing, or rather un-"marsing", of a strange artifact, not yet known as a Shadow Cruiser.
But there was a leak in one of the archaeologist from the first expedition.

Scientists will study the possibility of using a solar sail as a traction system and as a way to control the spacecraft during its orbit flight, she said.
"Technical solutions used in the probe can be a basis for future interplanetary expeditions," she said.
The launch of the spacecraft, called Cosmos 1, was planned for March but was postponed because of "the sheer volume of preparatory work," Avdeeva said earlier this year.

"Expedition Beta will be a training and research mission, held at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah," said MSC President and Expedition Beta Commander Melissa Battler.
Expedition Beta will be the second in a series of training missions, building on the success of 2004's Expedition Alpha to MDRS, and previous large-scale research missions such as 2003's Expedition One to MDRS and 2004's Expedition Two to Arkaroola, Australia.
MSC is a space-advocacy group dedicated to promoting, within Canada, the exploration of Mars by implementing public-outreach programs, by lobbying governments and by carrying out its own scientific research and technical projects.

The detector also could be applied to quantum cryptography and biomedical imaging, but the biggest application is interplanetary communication, Berggren said.
The way Berggren and his colleagues improved the efficiency was to add a "photon trap" to the detector as well as an anti-reflection coating to keep light from bouncing off its surface.
The photon trap is an optical cavity consisting of the nanowire detector, a carefully measured gap of glass and a mirror.

 Allen Steele - House Testimony
In 1901, the Russian mathematician Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was one of the few people researching methods for interplanetary travel; by 1926, the American physicist Robert H. Goddard had launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket.
Indeed, when it comes to astrophysical research, NASA is second to none; it has sent men to the Moon and launched robotic probes to all the planets and major moons of the solar system.
This is a worthwhile objective; NASA has the ability to accomplish this within the next twenty years, and such a mission would be a major boost to both space science and international relations.

It would be needless to boast, in view of my honorable record as an ether-ace in six interplanetary expeditions.
I was with the first Venusian expedition, under the leadership of Admiral Carfax, in 1977.
I, Richard Harmon, was only an engineer, a third assistant pilot of the space-vessel, with no claim whatever to scientific renown; and the four men entrusted to my guidance were all experts of international fame.

In response, the Earth Alliance in coordination with the Interstellar Alliance has composed a crew to man the advanced destroyer Excalibur with a mission: to search the galaxy for the cure for the Drakh plague before it destroys all life on Earth.
Fortunately, the planet in question is being excavated by a team from Interplanetary Expeditions, led by Max Eilerson (David Allen Brooks), who joins the Excalibur due to his abilities as an excellent translator.
Also, a friend of Dureena's and a face from Gideon's past, the technomage Galen (Peter Woodward) comes along for the crusade (cheesy usage of the word, I know) when invited by Gideon himself.

Increased knowledge of the composition of the environment and of the biological effects of space radiation is required to assess health risks to astronaut crews.
Future expeditions into interplanetary space will place crews at increased risk of exposure compared to the current short duration low-Earth orbit (LEO) missions.
During periods of solar maximum activity, the interplanetary magnetic field generated by the sun provides some protection to the inner solar system, decreasing GCR integral intensity.

Anna reveals that the Icarus mission to Z'ha'dum was no co-incidence: the dormant Shadow vessel excavated on Mars was Earth's first clue to the existence of an ancient race, and Interplanetary Expeditions tracked the ships back to their homeworld so they could mount their own exploration.
Justin attempts to convince Sheridan that the Shadows are serving for the good of all races by encouraging them to maintain conflict to force themselves to grow stronger - evolution through chaos.

 Liquid-fueled rocket is 75 years old   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
While his creation weighed only 10 1/2 pounds, including fuel, and flew just over 40 feet in altitude, it utilized the same basic technology that would later allow the 6-million-pound Saturn V rocket to carry men 239,000 miles to the moon.
Besides the space shuttle, most unmanned rockets that deliver spacecraft and satellites to Earth's orbit or to the paths of their interplanetary expeditions use a liquid propulsion system.
The successful use of a liquid-fuel propulsion system was one of Goddard's many significant achievements.

PNS associate editor Walter Truett Anderson attended a conference in Vienna in late August at the International Space University where terraforming was a topic of hot debate.
Alternatively, they propose putting satellites with huge mirrors into orbit above the polar icecap to reflect sunlight on it and hasten melting, or finding asteroids of ice in space and steering them to Mars to be melted down and added to the water supply.
Yet as new interplanetary expeditions are being proposed, terraforming may be the biggest environmental debate facing us in the century ahead.
