Future Mars





Contract from the Jet Propulsion Lab to produce a five minute animation sequence illustrating future unmanned missions to Mars.

These animations will illustrate the concepts for the new family of Mars lander and sample-return missions. To be launched in 2001, 2003, and 2005, these missions will give us our first actual samples of the Martian surface. AnimAlu Productions has been contracted to create the animations which illustrate how these missions will work. Many concepts are still in the development phase, so like the missions themselves, these animations will evolve over time.
