It seems that NASA technicians have returned from Mars very happy. The Mars Pathfinder project has been a resounding success and therefore, or next year a new mission to the Red Planet will be held. Sources from the U.S. Space Agency have announced that they will baptize the project with the name of Mars Polar Lander and will have the collaboration of the Russian Space Research Institute.

The new mission will have the same characteristics as its predecessor and, in addition, will carry out a similar work. Mars Pathfinder shared the images of Martitz and Mars Polar Lander, for their part, their melodies. They will open on the surface of the planet a complex network of recorders and microphones that will allow us to listen to their melodies. In addition, the soundtrack of Martitz arrives home through the internet.
