ESA to livestream Mars for the first time ever.
European Space Agency Attempts First-Ever Livestream from Mars
The European Space Agency is attempting to air the first livestream ever from Mars on Friday, marking the 20th anniversary of the agency’s Mars Express mission.
Get ready for an out-of-this-world experience! The European Space Agency is gearing up to bring us the first-ever livestream from Mars. This exciting event is set to take place on Friday, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the agency’s Mars Express mission.
What to Expect from the Livestream
The livestream will feature new pictures from the red planet every 50 seconds, thanks to the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) aboard the ESA’s Mars orbiter. This is a significant improvement from the usual three to 22 minutes it takes for photos to arrive on Earth.
According to James Godfrey, a spacecraft operations manager at ESA, the agency is not “100% certain” the feed will work. “This is an old camera, originally planned for engineering purposes, at a distance of almost 1.9 million miles from Earth — this hasn’t been tried before, and to be honest, we’re not 100% certain it’ll work,” he said. “But I’m pretty optimistic.”

Don’t miss out on this historic event! Tune in to the livestream and witness Mars like never before. Who knows what we might discover?
