Mars missions getting closer

LJ — 4/8/2003 9:23:15 AM (archived)

It could be just next month that missions to Mars set out at last!

The Mars Exploration Rovers have launch windows of May 30 - June 16 (MER A) and June 25 - July 16 (B).

Mars Express is scheduled to fly in June.

Big things coming up! My fingers are crossed already.
