For Students Free Space Exploration Mini-Poster
The solar system is about to get very busy. The action started in June with the launch of the first of two Mars rovers and the pace - from the rings of Saturn to the tail of a comet - gets hectic with a trio of Mars landings in January and continues up for the next two years.
Keep up with the action with a printable timeline of major solar system exploration events from mid-2003 to 2006. Note: The poster looks best when its printed on 11 X 17 paper.
