👉 The Armstrong Project, also known as the Mars Exploration Program, is NASA's long-term initiative aimed at exploring Mars to understand its geology, climate, and potential for past or present life. Named after Apollo astronaut Neil Armstrong, the project encompasses a series of robotic missions, including orbiters, landers, and rovers, designed to study the Martian surface and atmosphere in detail. These missions have significantly advanced our knowledge of Mars, from discovering evidence of ancient water flows and lakes to analyzing the planet's current harsh environment. The project also includes plans for future human missions, with the ultimate goal of sending astronauts to Mars in the coming decades to conduct in-depth scientific research and potentially establish a sustainable presence on the Red Planet.
