	CBC News - Indepth: Space: Mars
		The planet Mars has been on the space exploration agenda ever since the space race of the 1960s, when the United States and Russia were vying for a number of cosmic firsts – first artificial satellite, first man in orbit, first man on the moon, the list goes on.
		Mission: To orbit Mars for three years, gathering information that will help determine whether the environment on Mars was ever conducive to life, and studying potential radiation hazards for possible future manned missions to Mars.
		Mission: The mission involved two components, a stationary lander that used inflated airbags to soften its descent, and the Sojourner land rover, a six-wheeled, remote-controlled vehicle that moved along the Martian terrain.

	Spacecraft
		Today manned spaceflight is based on the space shuttle, a reusable rocket vehicle with short wings, which allow it to land on a runway like an airplane.
		Construction of the International Space Station began in November 1998 with the placing in orbit of the Russian module "Zarya", followed in December by NASA's "Unity." As of the end of 2000, a US-Russian crew is stationed aboard it.
		For this reason the space shuttle starts re-entering the atmosphere bottom-first, and only after almost all its velocity is lost does it turn around to the nose-first attitude of an airplane.

	2005: A Space Odious
		NASA's unmanned space probes and satellites have helped create a "golden age of astronomy" and given humankind a vastly improved understanding of the universe and their place in it.
		But the staggering costs of the life-systems needed for manned space flight and the consequent limitations of weight-load and space capacity sharply downgraded its usefulness for both military and scientific missions.
		Originally it was envisioned to house dozens of scientists and astronauts and to serve as a scientific lab, a space factory and a platform for eventually launching manned missions to Mars.

	Apollo & Skylab
		Apollo missions were launched atop two different boosters, the Saturn 1B used for the Earth orbiting missions (including Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz), and the mighty Saturn V, the rocket to the moon.
		One of these missions had been scheduled to explore the scientifically intriguing crater Aristarchus, where astronomers through the ages had witnessed geological (or, more properly, "lunalogical") activity through their telescopes and wondered whether or not it might be volcanism.
		The Apollo spacecraft was used for four later missions, the three long-duration Skylab missions the final Apollo flight, the Apollo-Soyuz linkup with the Soviet Soyuz 19.

		NASA's initial space science programs were largely defined by the projects transferred from other agencies and were mainly concerned with the study of phenomena in near-earth space.
		High on the list was the name of Harold C. Urey, professor at large at the University of California at San Diego.
		Their enthusiasm convinced Newell that space science should make room for a program in lunar and planetary sciences, and in January 1959 he appointed an ad hoc Working Group on Lunar Exploration to coordinate the efforts of NASA and academic scientists and to evaluate proposals for lunar experiments.

	Manned Chinese Space Flight Seen As First In Series
		Launch of China's first manned spacecraft on Oct. 15 is expected to be followed in about six months by another manned mission, this one with a crew of at least two, one analyst said.
		Charles P. Vick of GlobalSecurity.org said China's manned space program has been funded at $2.2-2.3 billion since about 1993, and that the money will pay for the first docking of two manned Shenzou spacecraft, probably in late 2005.
		It gives China an "earth orbital capability for a space station," to which China apparently is committed to developing, he said.

	SPACE.com -- Details Emerge in Robotic Plan to Service Hubble
		NASA announced Jan. 16 that a crewed mission to fix Hubble and add new and powerful instruments would be cancelled due to safety concerns presented in the wake of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
		Astronomers who have felt left out of the decision to cancel the manned servicing mission were delighted to hear the upbeat report on the possible stay of execution for Hubble.
		He said a human journey to Hubble would be at least fifth on the return-to-flight priority list, behind shakeout flights and at least one trip to the International Space Station.

	THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM
		Although the future course of the Soviet space program was unclear when the Soyuz was conceived in 1959-62 (space stations, lunar missions or even a manned flight around Mars were considered), it was generally agreed on that rendezvous and docking would play a major role.
		In order to increase safety it was decided early on to launch an unmanned N1/L3 precursor mission to the proposed site of the first manned landing, leaving a backup LK on the lunar surface in case the moonwalking cosmonaut's own vehicle suffered damage during landing.
		It could fly missions lasting several weeks, and variants of it would be used to fly around the Moon (the L1) and to be the mother craft for the manned lunar lander (LOK).

	Planet Mars
		This Mars orbiter mission is to perform the research originally scheduled for the lost Mars Climate Orbiter (Mars Surveyor 1998 Orbiter), i.e., Mars wheather and climate.
		While the orbiter mission is working successfully, unfortunately, the lander could not be contacted after landing despite intensive efforts for several weeks to establish communication or clear up the lander's state, and is believed and declared lost in late January 2004.
		Nasa officials have expressed their intention that these efforts should eventually be leading to a Mars mission with a human crew to be launched in 2018 (and to arrive at Mars in 2019), and to begin an era of permanent human presence on our neighbor planet.

	NASA: Nuclear Power And Propulsion A Must For Manned Mars Shot
		After arriving at Mars, a crewed mission would then have to wait 18 months before it could return home, making nuclear power a very attractive resource, according to Weiler.
		Testifying with Weiler, Christopher Scolese, deputy associate administrator for space science, said his office is working with NASA's space architect to determine how Project Prometheus technologies can be adapted for future human missions.
		JIMO's nuclear power system will produce tens of kilowatts, "which would be adequate to support humans on a mission to the moon, or on planetary surfaces," Scolese said.
