The original concept of a Mars Sample Return (MSR) was proposed in 2004, but was never developed. The mission is now being tentatively studied for 2018.
Current Exploration
The Mars rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity" are currently exploring Mars, although Spirit has been stationary since it became stuck in soft soil in May, 2009. Spirit is part of the MER-A mission launched June 10, 2003, and landed on Mars on January 4, 2004. The twin lander Opportunity was launched on the MER-B mission on July 7, 2003, and arrived on Mars on January 25, 2004.

What did the astronauts use to collect geological samples on the Moon's surface?
lunar lander
What was Apollo 13 intended mission?
Apollo 13's mission was to land on the moon, deploy/execute a set of experiments, explore the surface and collect lunar rocks.
How does a satellite collect information?
it goes into space, and whatever it's mission is, it either lands on a surface, orbits it, or flys past it.
What were the results of the Apollo 11 mission?
There are two primary outcomes from the Apollo 11 mission. The first, and most important, was that man could travel to the moon, land on its surface, get out and walk around on its surface without sinking under the soil (a real concern many held prior to launch), get back into the spacecraft, rendezvous with the orbiting Command Module, and return safely to Earth. That was the primary, and most important goal, of the Apollo 11 mission. Less important, at least for this mission, was the return of samples and pictures and the placement and execution of some small science experiments on the lunar surface. These were all performed, and the science was important, but it was not the primary goal of the mission.
Why did astronauts drill holes in the moon?
To take core samples of the lunar surface.
There is a future mission to Mars planned that will send a spacecraft to collect rock samples on the surface of the planet What is the name and the launch date of this spacecraft?
Mars Surveyor 2003 Lander/Rover will be launched on May 22, 2003.

lunar lander
What was Neil Armstrong's specific job when he walked on the Moon's surface?
His specific job was to collect lunar samples, and then return with them to Earth, which he did.
Is there space craft on Mercury?
No, not yet. The MESSENGER mission has flown by Mercury three times, and is planned to land on the surface during 2010.
What was Apollo 13 intended mission?
Apollo 13's mission was to land on the moon, deploy/execute a set of experiments, explore the surface and collect lunar rocks.
What is crossword puzzle word for astronauts ride le?
LEM - Lunar Excursion Module - A small 'car' that was used to move across the surface to collect samples.
How does a satellite collect information?
it goes into space, and whatever it's mission is, it either lands on a surface, orbits it, or flys past it.
What did they collect on the moon?
A lot of rocks and soil samples. They also drilled tubes into the moon and brought back core samples below the lunar surface. They also brought back a sample of the solar wind on a sheet of aluminum foil that they put out during their moonwalks.
What Apollo mission brought back the most rocks?
Sample return wights increased with each mission as each mission spent longer than the previous mission on the lunar surface. As such, Apollo 17, as the last mission, has the highest sample return weight. A17 brought back 111 kilograms (240 lb) of samples after spending 3 days, 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 40 seconds on the lunar surface.
How would you be able to determine from where nutrient influx comes?
You can test the nutrient influx by using a water test. You will determine the historical patterns and then collect water samples from the surface and subsurface layers along the estuaries.

Which mission brought back more moon rock and soil samples than the other mission?
A-17 spent the most time on the surface, traveled the farthest, and collected the greatest amount of samples.Apollo 11: 22kgApollo 12: 34kgApollo 14: 43kgApollo 15: 77kgApollo 16: 95kgApollo 17: 111kg
