ARES 3

The Complete Online Mission Overview

CDR Melissa Lewis will lead the ARES III on a long-term duration mission to examine Martian gullies and sediment deposits for evidence of subsurface ice. The ARES space program represents the best of our aspirations, and its success will forever stand as an unforgettable reminder about what we can achieve with effort, imagination, and teamwork. By examining the Martian terrain and its geological history, we hope to learn more about why it wound it a desiccated, inhospitable world lest we find one day find our own planet on the same path.
