	Mars (planet) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the solar system named after the Roman god of war (the counterpart of the Greek Ares) on account of its blood red color as viewed in the night Mars has two small moons Phobos and Deimos both small and oddly shaped possibly asteroids.
		Mars has a quarter the surface area of the Earth and only 1/10th the mass (though because it lacks oceans the of Mars' accessible dry land is approximately to that of the Earth's dry land).
		Mars has an important place in human due to the belief by some that existed on Mars due mainly to observations Percival Lowell of Martian canals apparently artificial linear features on the that he asserted were canals and due seasonal changes in the brightness of some that were thought to be caused by growth.

	Physical Mars
		The atmosphere on Mars is 95 percent carbon dioxide, 3 percent nitrogen, 1.6 percent argon, and traces of oxygen and water.
		The datum for Mars is defined by the fourth-degree and fourth-order spherical harmonic gravity field, with the zero altitude defined by the 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar) atmospheric pressure surface (approximately 0.6% of Earth's) at a temperature of 273.16 K. This pressure and temperature correspond to the triple point of water.
		Mars Odyssey determined that there are vast deposits of water ice in the upper three meters of Mars' soil within 60° latitude of the south pole.

	CEPS Mars Research
		Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and in many ways displays a "split personality" with respect to its geologic history.
		The Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997 provided detailed views of the Martian surface near the mouth of Ares and Tiu Valles, as well as the first in situ chemical evaluations of rocks through the use of the first roving vehicle on Mars.
		CEPS personnel are engaged in a variety of Mars related research and activities, ranging from fundamental research in the areas of Planetary Geology and Geophysics to involvement in Mars landing site selection to definition and proposal of future missions and science instrumentation.
