Mars-1 was the first spacecraft launched to Mars in 1962, [266] but communication was lost while en route to Mars. With Mars-2 and Mars-3 in 1971–1972, information was obtained on the nature of the surface rocks and altitude profiles of the surface density of the soil, its thermal conductivity, and thermal anomalies detected on the surface of ...
Start and End dates of Mars Years were determined for 1607–2141 by Piqueux et al. [2] Earth and Mars dates can be converted in the Mars Climate Database, [3] however, the Mars Years are only rational to apply to events that take place on Mars. Mars Year 1 started on 11 April 1955 and ended on 25 February 1957. [2] Mars Year 1 is preceded by ...
Factors which have been identified as impeding the identification of pathogens include the following: 1. Lack of animal models: Experimental infection in animals has been used as a criterion to demonstrate a disease-causing ability, but for some pathogens (such as Vibrio cholerae, which causes disease only in humans), animal models do not exist.
One way that viruses have been able to spread is with the evolution of virus transmission. The virus can find a new host through: [32] Droplet transmission: the virus is spread to a new host through bodily fluids (an example is the influenza virus) [33] Airborne transmission: the virus is passed on through the air (an example is viral ...

Planetary habitability in the Solar System is the study that searches the possible existence of past or present extraterrestrial life in those celestial bodies. As exoplanets are too far away and can only be studied by indirect means, the celestial bodies in the Solar System allow for a much more detailed study: direct telescope observation, space probes, rovers and even human spaceflight.
Tracking Mars’ wobble, or nutation, enabled the team to measure the size of the core. The RISE data suggested the core has a radius of about 1,140 miles (1,835 kilometers).
To enter the cells, proteins on the surface of the virus interact with proteins of the cell. Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the viral particle and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where replication of the viral genome may commence.
