Is paar priya tum ho madhu hai"Is Paar priya tum ho madhu hai, us paar na jane kya hoga us paar abhage manav ka adhikar na Jane kya hoga" -Dr.Harivansh rai Bachchan (Don't ask me who is Madhu, Let it be a mystery or get back to your Hindi dictionary ) With so many mars mission scheduled in future, these lines keep haunting me.Missions scheduled for the future: 2005 August 10 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Surveyor 2005 Orbiter (Nasa, France?). Scheduled to arrive at Mars in March, 2006. To study Mars from orbit between March 2006 and July 2008, perform high-resolution measurements including images with a resolution of 20 to 30 cm, and possibly serve as communications relay for later Mars landers until about 2010. 2005 MRO information, images and links at SEDS, Mars 2003 and 2005 page (NSSDC) 2007 Late Mars 2007 Remote Sensing Orbiter (CNES, French Space Agency): Remote Sensing Orbiter.

Will include an orbiter and a descent module that will land a highly mobile rover, weighing up to 200 kilogrammes, on the surface of Mars. 2011 Mars Scout 2 (Nasa). A mission succeeding and extending the 2007 Mars Scout, Phoenix; details to be defined. Mars 2003 and 2005 page (NSSDC) 2014 Mars 2014 (Nasa, France, Italy, international?; under study).
