Mars has been a source of myth, lore and inspiration since antiquity. It is also an interesting place to research - a legitimate candidate for us to find some form of alien life.
Since the 1960s, Mars has been a popular destination for space missions. Now, for the first time, NASA has invited the private sector to submit proposals on commercial Mars missions.

If you happened to be looking at the sky in Europe on a cold night on February 5 1993, there is a chance you could have seen a dim flash of light. That flash came from a Russian space mirror experiment called Znamya-2.
Znamya-2 was a 20-metre reflective structure much like aluminium foil (Znamya means "banner" in Russian), unfurled from a spacecraft which had just undocked from the Russian
