Mars sample return mission, artwork C018 / 1982
Mars sample return mission. Artwork of an ascent vehicle launching from Mars as part of the proposed Mars sample return mission. This spacecraft would be carrying samples of Martian rocks collected by a rover (in foreground). The ascent vehicle would rendezvous with an orbiting spacecraft that would return the samples to Earth. NASA and the European Space Agency are collaborating on proposals for a mission to gather samples of Martian rocks and bring them to Earth after 2020

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Mars Sample Return Mission" takes us on a journey to the future of space exploration. Created in 1982 by NASA/JPL-Caltech/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it envisions an ambitious mission that could revolutionize our understanding of Mars. In this illustration, we witness the culmination of years of scientific research and technological advancements. A sleek ascent vehicle gracefully lifts off from the Martian surface, carrying precious samples of Martian rocks collected by a rover stationed in the foreground. This monumental feat represents humanity's relentless pursuit to uncover the secrets hidden within our neighboring planet. The proposed Mars sample return mission holds immense promise for unraveling mysteries about Mars' geological history and potential signs of past or present life. Collaboratively undertaken by NASA and the European Space Agency, this joint effort showcases international cooperation at its finest. As we gaze upon this futuristic scene, we are reminded that space exploration knows no bounds. With each passing year, our capabilities expand further into the unknown depths of our solar system. The image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push beyond boundaries once thought impossible. While this artwork may have been created decades ago, its message remains timeless: there is an insatiable curiosity within us all that drives us toward new frontiers in search of knowledge and discovery.
