The Canadian Space Agency has been selected to head a mission in which a lander will touch down on the surface of Mars' mysterious moon phobos. Scientists believe Phobos may hold clues to the origin and evolution of Mars and the solar system. Several missions by Russia and other countries have come close to Phobos, but study leader Dr. Robert (Bob) Richards, Director of Optech’s Space Division, thinks that Canada and its international partners have what it takes get to the surface and unlock some its mysteries. “This mission would be a wonderful evolution of Canada’s leadership role in planetary science and exploration to support the advancement of human knowledge of Mars and our solar system,” said Dr. Richards.
