Exploring Mars: Searching for Signs of Water with Mars Express

Mars Express, a spacecraft launched two years ago, is entering a crucial phase as it deploys radar booms to scan the Martian surface for signs of water. This mission is significant because there is evidence that water may have existed on Mars in the past, and finding it would be a major discovery. The radar booms will emit low frequency radio waves to penetrate the surface and provide valuable insights into the possibility of water beneath the Martian soil.
