Mars Updates

In August, 2003, Mars and Earth were only 55.5 million miles away from each other - as close as they will be for another few centuries.






Mission Control

Mission Control is here to help you navigate on your journey to Mars. Find out who else is taking part and how you can contact them on the Schools page. Get your Mission Coordinator's contact information and Link-up Day location on the Site Contacts page. The Photo Gallery will give you some Marsville history and a glimpse of previous missions.

Check back throughout the project for Mars and Missions Updates. Happy travels!
