The Air and Space Academy (AAE) welcomes astrophysicist Sylvestre Maurice to Bordeaux tomorrow evening. He will give a conference entitled “Mars – In search of life”.
Conference presentation
To date, twelve vehicles are operational around March or on its surface.
A trophy of national supremacy, a field of technological experimentation, a source of wonder for the people who fervently follow this adventure, the exploration of the red planet represents the most beautiful quest for scientists, who methodically search if life existed…
They are preparing the next step: the collection of samples which will be brought back to Earth within ten years, while waiting, in the longer term, for the ultimate challenge: a manned flight.
