THE SECRETS OF MARS EXPRESS
No less than 6 missions are headed for Mars in the middle of this year and New Norcia's deep space dish has a pivotal role in allowing all missions to 'dump'
data back to earth.
There are many questions related to Mars that are expected to be answered. Stay with us as we keep you updated and suggest activities you may like to use in the classroom
