marsbase.net provides scientific data of various kinds. We have seen the MarsRovers arriving at Mars, showing incredible scienific results, and there is more. The Martian satellite Mars Express of the European Space Agency ESA and the forthcoming Mars Reconnaissance -> Orbiter will reveal even more details of the yet misterious planet Mars. We have definitely started our journey to the red planet. Not only is the US exploring the distant world, but the ESA (European Space Agency) and Japan are also observing this highly interesting solar system body.
