Compare the Viking 1 and 2 probes to the Pathfinder probe that landed on Mars in 1997. How was their technology different? Mariner 4 and 9 and Viking 1 and 2 probes needed enhanced cameras and wireless communication equipment to take images of Mars's surface and send them back to Earth. According to the video, how did improving our technology lead to new discoveries about Mars?
Using internet resources, describe how advances in imaging and wireless communication for space exploration have led to changes in imaging devices and communication on Earth.
Mars Odyssey and Mars Express required spectrometric equipment that could analyze Mars's atmosphere and surface composition and temperatures. Using internet resources, describe some home or business technologies that use spectrometric equipment to analyze atmosphere or temperature.
Using internet resources, research one space probe described in the video. Describe its goals and justify its purpose by explaining how it helped advance our understanding of the universe.
