Mission Mars

Welcome to Mission Mars — this gallery explores NASA’s bold plans to send humans to the Red Planet.

Inside, you’ll discover how astronauts plan to live and work on Mars: from learning about its dusty surface and thin atmosphere, to seeing the spacesuits, rovers, and habitats being designed for future explorers. You’ll also get a close look at real meteorites from Mars, interactive displays that show how we’ll land spacecraft on its surface, and the challenges of producing food, water, and oxygen so far from Earth.

Mission Mars gives you a glimpse of the technology, science, and imagination that will one day turn the dream of walking on Mars into reality
