Earth invades Mars in Feb­ru­ary. In a his­toric tri­fec­ta for space explo­ration, space­craft of three coun­tries will arrive at Mars, and for two of those it will be their first time at the Red Plan­et. We talk to the sci­ence lead for the Emi­rates Mars Mis­sion, a NASA engi­neer pilot­ing the first heli­copter on Mars, and a British space expert – all to learn how these space­craft may bring greater under­stand­ing of this rusty world – includ­ing whether Mars ever sup­port­ed life.

Guests:

Sarah Crud­das — Space jour­nal­ist, broad­cast­er, and author of Look Up: Our Sto­ry with the Stars”

Sarah Al Amiri — Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates Min­is­ter of State for Advanced Sci­ences as well as sci­ence lead for the Emi­rates Mars Mission

Håvard Grip — Chief Pilot and Flight Con­trol Lead for Inge­nu­ity Mars Heli­copter at NASA Jet Propul­sion Laboratory
