A European spacecraft around Mars sent its first livestream from the red planet to Earth on Friday to mark the 20th anniversary of its launch, but rain in Spain interfered at times.
This image provided by the European Space Agency and taken with the ESA's High Resolution Stereo Camera aboard the Mars Express spacecraft shows Mars as the spacecraft approaches the planet from a distance of 5.5 million kilometers. Launched in 2003, the spacecraft marked it's 20th anniversary, Friday, June 2, 2023. –
“If you were currently sitting on board Mars Express ... this is what you would be seeing,” said Simon Wood, the mission's spacecraft operations engineer. “We typically don't normally get images in this way.” “These missions were all pretty close to home and others farther away sent perhaps an image or two in near real-time. When it comes to a lengthy livestream from deep space, this is a first,” ESA said in a statement before the event.
