Mars: Space Missions

Scientific paper

Mars express is the first ESA mission to the Red Planet, and is in fact the first European mission to any planet. Launched on 2 June 2003, it includes both an orbiter spacecraft and a small lander, called "Beagle 2" after Charles Darwin's sailing ship "Beagle". As the first "flexi-mission" in the revised long-term ESA Cosmic Vision Science Programme, it has been developed in record time - about five years from concept to launch - and much more cheaply than any previous scientific mission to Mars.
