The European Space Agency (ESA) is getting ready to give potential funders their first look at blueprints for Aurora, a planetary research program that aims to send human explorers to the moon and Mars by 2030. As a first step, Aurora planners earlier this month commissioned studies of four robotic missions that would test the technologies needed to send a rover to Mars and return samples to Earth by 2009. In December, Aurora officials will present study results to ESA's 15 member nations and Canada. Funding decisions could come as early as next summer.
