Currently there are two spacecraft headed to Mars. The Pathfinder mission is expected to land on the red planet on July 4, 1997 and the Global Surveyor will land on September 11, 1997. Both of these missions were under development prior to the August 7th announcement of the possible discovery of early life forms on Mars. Mars will be actively explored by robotics over the next decade. The ultimate exploration will be carried out by humans early in the 21st century. This talk will cover what we know and what we hope to find out in the future about Mars. It will discuss the possible human scenarios for human exploration.
