    Recent advancements in the exploration of the Solar System include India becoming the first Asian country to successfully send a spacecraft into Mars orbit in 2014. Over 20 spacecraft have been sent to Mars since the 1970s, with the Viking landers being the first to successfully land on the planet in 1976. The Rosetta mission launched in 2004 included a lander that touched down on a comet in 2014, revealing new insights about comet composition. NASA's New Horizons mission in 2015 captured the first close-up images of Pluto, showing evidence of recent geological activity on its surface.

    Recent advancement/information

    on the Solar System


    Exploration of Mars
    The exploration of Mars is the study
    of Mars by spacecraft. Probes sent from
    Earth, beginning in the late 20th century,
    have yielded a dramatic increase in
    knowledge about the Martian system,
    focused primarily on understanding its
    geology and habitability potential.
    Who reached Mars first?
     India- the first country to reach Mars orbit on
    its first attempt and also the first Asian country to
    successfully send an orbiter to Mars. This
    is India's first mission to Mars, and with it,
    ESA (Europe)
    NASA (USA)
    Soviet Union,
    ISRO became the fourth space agency to
    successfully reach Mars  
    How many space probes have
    been sent to Mars?
    Vikings 1 and 2 became the first space
    probes to successfully land on the surface
    of Mars.
    Viking Lander 1 was the first U.S.
    spacecraft to successfully touch down on
    any planet other than Earth. Both
    spacecraft were launched in 1976, the year
    in which the United States celebrated its
    bicentennial.
    Who was the first to land on Mars?

    • Who was the first to land on Mars?


    • The Viking landers were the first
    spacecraft to land on Mars in the 1970s.
    Viking 1 and Viking 2 each had both an
    orbiter and a lander.
    • On July 20, 1976 the Viking 1 Lander
    separated from the Orbiter and touched
    down on the surface of Mars.
    Rosetta's Comet
    Rosetta is a space probe built by the
    European Space Agency and launched on 2
    March 2004. One of its mission is to
    rendezvous with and attempt to land a probe
    (Philae) on a comet in the Kuiper Belt. One
    of the purpose of the mission is to better
    understand comets and the early solar
    systems. Philae landed successfully on
    comet  (67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko) on
    12 November 2014. Analysis of the water
    (ice) from the comet suggest that its isotopic
    composition is different from water from
    Earth.
    Pluto Flyby
    On 14 July 2015, NASA's New Horizon
    spacecraft provided mankind the first
    close-up view of the dwarf planet Pluto.
    Images captured from the flyby revealed a
    complex terrain - ice mountains and vast
    crater free plains. The presence of crater
    free plains suggests recent (last 100
    millions of years) of geologic activity.
    ENRICHMENT

    Is the Solar System


    unique or rare? What is
    the possibility of finding a
    similar system within the
    Milky Way Galaxy? What
    about an Earth like
    planet?
