Planet Mars: North Pole Dry Ice & Sand Dunes | Europe's Mars Express
With its High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter captured a region in Planum Boreum at Mars’ north pole on April 14, 2023. Here, frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) covers vast sand dunes.
Celebrating over 20 years at Mars!
The Mars Express mission was launched on June 2, 2003, from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on board a Russian Soyuz rocket with a Fregat upper stage. In addition to being Europe’s first mission to Mars, Mars Express is the first fully European mission to any planet.
