Could this mission be the breakthrough we need to land humans safely on Mars? :rocket:
Meet M-MATISSE – a bold UK-led mission that could be the first to fully explore Martian space weather. By launching two orbiters, Henri and Marguerite, this mission aims to study how the Sun’s energy affects Mars’s atmosphere, surface, and potential habitability. If approved by the European Space Agency, it could become the essential step toward safe human exploration of the Red Planet.

This is more than just science – it’s the future of space travel :milky_way::man_astronaut:

00:00What if the next mission to Mars could protect future astronauts, before they even land?
00:05Meet M. Matisse, a groundbreaking mission that could change everything we know about Martian space weather.
00:10Unveiled at the National Astronomy Meeting 2025, this UK-led mission proposes launching two robotic orbiters to Mars.
00:18Their goal? To uncover hidden dangers like radiation and solar storms that could threaten future human explorers.
00:26These twin spacecraft, Henri and Marguerite, will study all layers of Mars' atmosphere, from the magnetic field to the lower atmosphere.
00:34One orbiter dives deep into Mars' plasma system. The other explores uncharted territory in the solar wind.
00:41Together, they'll monitor how energy from the Sun hits Mars, and how it affects the planet's habitability.
00:47If selected by the European Space Agency, M. Matisse would become the first-ever mission dedicated solely to Martian space weather.
00:55And it could be the key to making human landings on Mars not just possible, but safe.
01:00Since the past
