a journey to mars.m mariner to phoenix and to maven and beyond, we have ingenuity on and around the red planet. 40 years ago, nasa's viking project found its place in history. july 20, 1976. viking 1 was the first human probe to land on the surface, return images and data, and conduct science experiments on mars. viking was a bold step for its time and a huge undertaking for nasa. nasa employees, contractors, and industry across the country designed elements of this project. viking consistent of two -- consisted of two identical spacecraft with a payload of a lander and an orbiter each. viking 1 and 2 were launched in august and september 1975. each orbiter lander flew together and entered the mars orbit, and it dissented to the -- then separated and ascended to the -- descended to the planets surface for their planned 90 day missions. viking 1 was originally targeted to land on july 4, 1976, our nation's bicentennial, the images from the orbiter showed the planned landing site to be too rocky. after re

we could spend decades looking around mars, digging, seeing what happened on mars billions and billions of years ago. >> is there a mining component to all of this that may offset precious metals and things that are rare metals. >> i think some of that is, our experience on earth is that we have plate tectonics. the plates move around and hydro-thermal activity that we're aware of, and we can determine where there are elemental concentrations that are of interest economically. we have coal, we have fossil fuels and that's all related to life and so we need to answer some very fundamental questions about mars because it's a great target and other places in the solar system before we might know if there is economically viable resources out there. that said, there are companies that are investigating mining asteroids, and looking into what rare earth elements might be out there in the asteroid belt. >> i think mining for materials in space is more suitable for building things while you're in space. so it's not, at least to me, the goal is not to go find some diamond asteroid and bring it b

mars very well. the rovers have demonstrated how easy it is to do that. one other thing about the rovers is they don't operate alone and preprogrammed. there are whole teams here on earth that are charting out their itineraries and scheduling their activities. and when they are working on the mission, in their heads, they are on mars with the rover. and they even wear watches where they set their watch to martian time. the martian day is 24 hours and 39 minutes. so their day is just enough longer than ours that for the people working on earth, each day they start work 39 minutes later. the days creep ahead for them. so when this museum opened in 1976, we were wrapping up a golden age of human exploration with the "apollo" missions to the moon, and we were launching into the first golden age of planetary exploration with the missions of the 1970s to mars and to the outer planets. we're now in another golden age of planetary exploration, particularly on mars with curiosity rover so actively exploring t

. >> nasa just wrapped up a mission to mars. well, actually it was a practice mission to mars. and it was set up by the university of hawaii. they put a small dome on top of astronauts locked inside for a year. the goal was to track the effects of such a long mission on the people inside. it must have been a success, because nay came out smiling. an excited crowd gathered sunday in hawaii to welcome this six person crew become to earth after they spent a year on mars. or more accurately, after they simulated living a year on mars. they all their time in a solar powered dome on the side of a volcano in hawaii part of the nasa funded program, high seas. >> it was really exciting to be able to welcome the crew back to earth. last august the group including an architect, astro biologist, aerospace enjgineer came across the gleb obe to live in the 150 square foot dome. over 12 months, limited food and delay to communicate with the outside world. >> i'm super excited. the first time we get to be outside without wearing a space suit. everything is different. >> what is going on? >> th

but you can also see jupiter, mars, and saturn on the evening sky. evening,leave this mars and saturn will be very nicely positioned with the moon between them. so mars will be below and to the right, and saturn blowing to the left, and below saturn will be anteres. for those of you watching this and are according, it will change that quickly, so you can watch it in the coming days. the moon will be nicely positioned. this is what astronomers knew in 1800. zi, heame along piaz discovered a new planet. modern astronomers had only ever discovered one planet. so this was quite a significant finding. a highto show you resolution photograph of what he discovered. ofs is the roman goddess grain, ceres. in this case, the artist has chosen to depict her -- different artists have used , in fact,implements if you had cereal this morning, you have at least some connection with the goddess. and here is the same chart i showed you a moment ago, but planets in 1800. and here is how they were known .n 18 no one -- 1801 for two generations it was considered to be a

and so in order to speed up the spacecraft, mars had to slow down. so mars actually orbits the sun more slowly now because of dawn's fly-by than it did before hand. so if you're keeping track, following the february 2009 fly-by, mars moves more slowly by a rate of one inch per 180 million years. [laughter] and in july of 2011, dawn got into vesta, went into orbit around it and we spent 14 months there studying this unique body. then we left orbit and spent 2 1/2 years more traveling through the solar system to get to ceres, which we reached in march of last year. the spacecraft is in orbit around ceres now, and it will stay there essentially forever. and at each body, we make a comprehensive set of measurements. we take many, many pictures. you're visual creatures, we're visual creatures, we all love to see neat pictures, so we've taken a lot of pictures and i've shown you some of those. we also take pictures in stereo at different angles, in order to make a topographical map, which is how i was able to show you the animation i showed you earlier of

red is the orbit of mars. this is the orbit of vesta and this is the orbit of series, and starting out by showing you the location of these things, where they were in march of 2007, so you can sort of synchronize your watching of it in preparation for the september 2007 launch. and what you'll see is vesta will go all the way around the sun before we get to and it series goes around almost two full times. it's more complicated than just going out to a certain distance from the sun. you have to ghetto right place at the right time. so here in september 2007 the spacecraft leaves earth, we're now aiming to fly by mars. remember that occurred while we were coasting. so here we have flown by mars, turn on the ion propulsion system. we're aiming for vesta but won't get there until here, and series will go all the way around the sun for another full revolution before we get there. but finally as we get into 2011, dawn gets to vesta, goes into orbit around it, spends 14 months there, making its extensive measurement
