	Interplanetary Space Missions
		Lunar Unmanned Missions Data compiled @ Robert A. Braeunig's Rocket and Space Technology.
		Its principal mission is to measure the Mars atmosphere and its interaction with the Solar Wind.
		This short article discusses the mission background including some important, perhaps not widely known, details of the mission: 1) that the primary vehicle actually failed; and 2) the mission was rescued by using the previously untried technique of chaotic boundary region orbital transfer worked out by Dr. Ed Belbruno.

	Planet Mars
		Since, the spacecraft has undertaken a most successful mission to survey Mars from orbit, with instruments constructed for the lost Mars Observer, and is still providing numerous high-resolution images and valuable data of the Martian surface and atmosphere.
		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.
		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.

	Orbiting Astronomical Observatories
		It was mounted on the Skylab Space Station (launched unmanned in May 1973) and continued its mission for years after the third and last manned mission.
		It was deployed into space by Shuttle Space Atlantis (launched July 31, 1992) in August 1992, and retrieved and brought back to Earth by Endeavour on July 1, 1993, nearly a year later.
		UV imaging and spectroscopic survey mission, to map the history and evolution of the Universe of galaxies.

	Human spaceflight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditionally, these endeavours have been referred to as manned space missions, although today some prefer to use the term crewed or piloted space missions because they consider manned to be sexist, though it only denotes gender in one of several definitions of the word.
		In an attempt to win the $10 million X-Prize, numerous private companies attempted to build their own manned spacecraft capable of repeated sub-orbital flights.
		The term manned is, however, accurate in terms of gender when speaking of all U.S. spaceflight programs before the Space Shuttle program and Soviet spaceflights before Vostok 6.

	Chronology of Space Exploration
		The Deep Space 2 (DS2) project is a New Millenium mission consisting of two probes which were to penetrate the surface of Mars near the south polar layered terrain and send back data on the sub-surface properties.
		The SMART-1 (Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology 1) is a lunar orbiter designed to test spacecraft technologies for future missions such as a solar-powered ion drive.
		The mission has as its primary science goals to gather data to help determine whether the environment on Mars was ever conducive to life, to characterize the climate and geology of Mars, and to study potential radiation hazards to possible future astronaut missions.

	Shenzhou-5 May Carry Out First Chinese Manned Mission
		He added that the technological level of the Chinese launch escape system would be comparable to that of Russia and the U.S. Many space officials feel that the successful completion of the SZ-3 mission is another giant step towards the first manned mission in the very near future.
		This included assessing the functionality, reliability and safety of each manned spaceflight system; coordination among different systems; the spacecraft environment for manned flight; the effectiveness of the improved measures that have been implemented; the escape and emergency life support systems; and the capability of the launcher's redundant control system.
		Su, who is responsible for yuhangyuan selection and training, and their space medical monitoring and protection, said that based on preliminary data from the mission, space officials were very satisfied with the parameters of the environment inside the modules.

	CNN.com - Bush unveils vision for moon and beyond - Jan. 15, 2004
		Also, NASA will begin sending a series of robotic missions to the moon beginning in 2008 to conduct research and prepare for future missions, and research will be conducted on the space station on the long-term effects of extended space travel on human physiology.
		Bush also made his case for why manned exploration is needed, rather than sending unmanned missions, such as the Mars rover, Spirit, currently sending information back from the red planet.
		It will be developed and tested by 2008 and will conduct its first manned mission no later than 2014.

	PERMANENT - Mission Concepts - 1st Manned Near-Earth Asteroid Mission
		A first mission, however modest, would open the floodgates to investment and competition - a "space race" between private companies, and the owner of the first mission would have a huge lead on the competition as well as be in a strong position to sell to the competition.
		One may note on the WWW sites of some private space mission scenarios that one of their sponsors is a beef jerky company, which may surprise some people as being a company unrelated to space.
		First of all, a manned mission would be able to accomplish far more - we just don't have the robotics technology that can replace humans, in terms of adaptability and versatility.

	Shenzhou 2 Launch Imminent, Chinese Manned Space Program Targets the Moon SpaceRef - Your Space Reference
		Known for its penchant for secrecy, the openness with which Chinese space officials spoke of this mission as it was happening and the amount of information freely released to outside media was almost as surprising as the technical accomplishments of the mission itself.
		Given that the cost of space exploration is still significant, and the fact that China is still not a wealthy country, one would expect that China would seek to pace its efforts so as to be commensurate with its more limited capabilities.
		In addition to items that flew on the first mission, flight ready hardware was also on display: a payload fairing that covers the Shenzhou and an escape tower from a CZ 2F launch vehicle.
