Both NASA and ESA Getting Ready for Mars Missions to Search for Life

Ten  months from now in the last half of July 2020, two different rovers from America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) will travel to Mars to look for evidence of life. They both go in the same time window of July 17 to August 5, 2020, because that’s when the alignment of planets will allow a more straight shot to the red planet for the fastest trip. It will take about 7 months to travel the approximate 140 million miles (225 million km) from Earth to Mars with an expected landing date of February 18, 2021.
