Life on Mars If the surface life has been reanimated as recently as 450,000 years ago, then rovers on Mars could find dormant but still viable life at a depth of one meter below the surface, according to an estimate. In 1965, the Mariner 4 probe discovered that Mars had no global magnetic field that would protect the planet from potentially life-threatening cosmic radiation and solar radiation; observations made in the late 1990s by the Mars Global Surveyor confirmed this discovery. Scientists speculate that the lack of magnetic shielding helped the solar wind blow away much of Mars's atmosphere over the course of
Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre for up to three years. The satellite will re-broadcast text messages to the world and it will collect data to help academic institutions in conducting different types of research. The Emirates Mars Mission, Hope Mars Mission, was announced by Mohammed bin Rashid in July 2014. The mission is aimed at sending an unmanned probe to Mars by 2021. The probe is expected to arrive seven months later, half a century to the year since the founding of the United Arab Emirates.
