The dream of landing on Mars dates back to the 1960s, when the first moon landings were planned and had succeeded. In April 2018 over 150 scientists from all over the world convened at AXICA to discuss the next steps on the path to fulfilling that dream. ESA and NASA worked closely together to bring the next (unmanned) mission on its way. Flight systems, potential landing sites, the collecting of rock samples (and their analysis), and the transport back to Earth were only a few of the subjects discussed during the three-day program.
The Mars Rover and other exhibits displayed in the foyer were the „silent stars“ of the conference.
