	Unmanned space mission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unmanned space missions are space missions using remote-controlled spacecraft.
		Space missions where animals but no humans are on-board are considered unmanned missions.
		Unmanned space missions may be divided into two classes: artificial satellites, which orbit the Earth, and space probes, which leave Earth's orbit to explore other worlds.

	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 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.
		The primary scientific objective of the Muses-C mission is to collect a surface sample of material from an asteroid and return the sample to Earth for analysis.

	International Space Station Overview
		The International Space Station is the largest and most complex international scientific project in history.
		Led by the United States, the International Space Station draws upon the scientific and technological resources of 16 nations: Canada, Japan, Russia, 11 nations of the European Space Agency and Brazil.
		Dealing with the real-time challenges experienced during Shuttle-Mir missions also has resulted in an unprecedented cooperation and trust between the U.S. and Russian space programs, and that cooperation and trust has enhanced the development of the International Space Station.

	CNN.com - NASA considers yearlong space missions - Jun 9, 2004
		The space station has been continually occupied for the past three-and-half years by eight crews that have stayed for various lengths of time, but never more than seven months.
		He also suggested a second motivation: By doubling the length of space station missions, the Russia Space Agency would be able to free up seats on the Soyuz to sell to space tourists.
		The space shuttle program has been grounded since the accident, leaving the Russian rocket the only means of transportation to and from the space station.

	Manned space missions must continue
		The relative cost of scientific components of manned space missions thus is usually marginal.
		Their voyages have spurred the imaginations of many a child - including this one during the Apollo moon missions - who later might choose a career in science motivated, in part, by the excitement of watching astronauts probe the unknown.
		If we are honest about the goals, there should be money to support good, unmanned science in space, as well as manned space missions that can teach us how humans can function and survive in space.

	Doing Repairs In Space Critical To Deep Space Missions
		Space travelers on an extended mission to Mars, for example, would need to be ready to do small repairs just in case, soldering this, welding that.
		In the unforgiving environment of space, a successful solder-repair to, say, navigation hardware or an oxygen pump could mean the difference between life and death.
		The researchers plan to have the current space station crew (Expedition 8) perform the experiment during their stay, which is scheduled to last until April 2004.

	SPACE-TALK - Manned Mars Missions
		NASA won't say it, but naturally the culmination of all of its robotic and orbitor missions is to find the best areas to put a man on the surface to complete the experiments.
		At any rate I think everyone should keep an eye on events, the space program is as exciting as ever but just doesn't seem to be grabbing the public's attention now.
		I would say that before we go to Mars we will have to learn to live first in space (ISS) and then learn to live on another planet probably the Moon, This is if we don't want the fist manned Mars missions to be a flying visit,like Apollo.
