Mars Express is a space exploration mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) launched in June 2003. It is the first planetary mission attempted by ESA and aims to study Mars from orbit extensively. The mission’s objectives include the search for water on Mars, understanding the planet’s atmosphere and geology, and revealing more about its climate and history. Mars Express carries seven scientific instruments, including high-resolution cameras, radar devices, and spectrometers, which allow it to conduct detailed analyses of the Martian surface, subsurface, and atmosphere.
