Detailed explanation-3: -Mars Pathfinder was launched December 4, 1996 and landed on Mars’ Ares Vallis on July 4, 1997. It was designed as a technology demonstration of a new way to deliver an instrumented lander and the first-ever robotic rover to the surface of the red planet.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 2010, the Herschel Space Observatory detected molecular oxygen in the Martian atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ancient Mars was probably warmer and wetter, but it seems to have lacked an oxygen-rich atmosphere - an essential ingredient of life on Earth, according to a new study.
