Artwork of Mars Sample Return mission leaving Mars
Mars Sample Return mission. Artwork of the Mars Sample Return spacecraft blasting off from the surface of Mars. Due for launch in Summer 2005, this craft has the aim of returning Martian soil samples to Earth for detailed analysis. It is made up of two parts; a lander which provides the base, and a module which is seen returning to Earth. Robot arms are seen on either side of the lander, which collect soil samples for the mission. A rover is seen at lower right. The Sample Return mission is designed to land near and collect samples from a rover left from an earlier mission, which had collected rocks from the surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the monumental moment of the Mars Sample Return mission as it departs from the red planet's surface. With its launch scheduled for Summer 2005, this spacecraft has a groundbreaking objective: to bring back Martian soil samples to Earth for meticulous analysis. The composition consists of two distinct components; a sturdy lander serving as the foundation and an awe-inspiring module that is poised to return home. Positioned on either side of the lander are robot arms, diligently collecting precious soil samples essential for this ambitious undertaking. Intriguingly, nestled at the lower right corner is a rover, symbolizing continuity with a previous mission that had gathered rocks from Mars' surface. This strategic landing near the abandoned rover allows seamless collaboration in obtaining valuable samples. The intricate details in this artwork showcase not only scientific precision but also artistic prowess. The Mars Sample Return mission represents humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our own planet. It embodies our insatiable curiosity about distant worlds and our desire to unravel their mysteries through cutting-edge technology and exploration. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of mankind's unyielding determination to push boundaries and expand our understanding of the universe we inhabit. (Photo credit: Science Photo Library)
