The European Space Agency’s (ESA) spacecraft has been orbiting the Red Planet for the past 20 years, sending valuable data revealing the landscape of Mars. But incoming images of Mars have always suffered from technical lag, taking hours or sometimes days to get back to Earth. But that will change with the first Mars live broadcast to be broadcast directly from the Red Planet.It will show a new image every 50 seconds
ESA will broadcast live images taken by Mars Express to mark the anniversary of Mars Express, the space agency announced this week. Images will be broadcast directly from the spacecraft’s Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), also known as the Mars Webcam, and a new image will be displayed approximately every 50 seconds during the hour-long event.
The live broadcast is scheduled to begin on June 2 at 19:00. You can watch the Mars live broadcast on ESA’s YouTube Channel or below.
