Abstract

Mars is the second smallest terrestrial planet in the solar system with distinct surface features, such as impact craters, volcanoes, and polar ice caps. In the last few decades, a number of missions have been launched to explore Mars, which greatly contributed to improving our knowledge on this planet. Currently, there are five working spacecrafts: three in orbit-Mars Odyssey (ODY), Mars Express, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), and two on the surface-Mars Exploration Rover, Opportunity, and Mars science laboratory, Curiosity. Over a long geological time, Mars has experienced Noachian, Hesperian, and Amazonian periods, indicating complicated formation and evolution of Mars. Similar to the Earth, the structure of Mars consists of.
