Mars Express Livestreams Red Planet Exploration for 20th Anniversary
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft sent its first-ever livestream from the red planet to Earth to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The livestream showed about one-third of Mars, with white clouds visible in some shots. Rain in Spain disrupted the transmission at times, but enough images made it through to delight the European space officials hosting the hourlong livestream. Mars Express traveled to the red planet with a lander, dubbed Beagle-2, which lost contact with Earth as it attempted to touch down on the Martian surface.
