**  ****Mars Exploration**

## Overview/Introduction

- On December 17, 1903 in North Carolina The  first flight of the ***Wright Flyer*** flew in the air for a total time of 12 seconds. This was the first time in history that an aircraft  controlled by a pilot and propelled by a motor flew.This feat,  was accomplished by the **Wright Brothers.**
**NASA** has been exploring the planet Mars since the failed fly by of the USSR in 1960 . Mariner 4 arrived at Mars on July 14, 1965 and passed within 6,118 miles of the planet's surface after an eight-month journey. This mission provided the first close-up images of the red planet.. Mariner 4 is now in a solar orbit.. The Mars 2003 mission will consist of two identical rovers. The rovers will be landed using an airbag system similar to that used on _[Mars Pathfinder](http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/mesur.html)_ but without the stationary lander. The first landing is scheduled to take place on  January 4,  2004 and the second 3 weeks later on 25 January. The rovers are designed to cover roughly 100 meters each martian day, or sol (approximately 24 hours, 37 minutes).
- These two explorations have and continue to changed the face of aviation.This presentation will compare and contrast these two endeavors, and give examples of hands on  activities for relative explorations.

## What were the questions ?

_**Wright Brothers**_
- Can man sustain controlled flight?

_**Mars Missions**_
- Is there support for life on Mars?

##      What’s in Common?

- The process used to obtain the answer to both questions was the same.

-    The Scientific method

## What was Hypothesized?

-    _**Wright Brothers**_
- A device can be built
- That will allow man to fly like a bird.

_**Mars Missions**_
- Exploration missions to Mars will give us needed answers
