Mars exploration has accelerated; at least one robotic mission has been continuously operating near Mars since 1997, and the number of spacecraft observing Mars has steadily increased. Several new missions are about to launch, including ESCAPADE and MMX, which will explore Phobos, Deimos, and Mars. This session will discuss recent results from a wide range of Mars studies, including the interior, surface, atmosphere, plasma environment, and the Mars system, including its two satellites. Presentations on instrumentation, theoretical studies, and future mission plans are also encouraged for this session, as both the presenters and the audience would greatly benefit from the ensuing discussion and feedback.
