Leading scientists urge the preservation of robotic explorers and landing sites on Mars, vital pieces of our space exploration history.
These artifacts, like iron-age huts or Roman swords for future archaeologists, offer invaluable insights into humanity's first steps beyond Earth.
Protecting this 'space heritage' requires careful mission planning to minimize damage to existing sites and future landings on Mars.
By preserving these historical touchstones, we ensure future generations accurately understand humanity's journey into the cosmos.
