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. There are now three rovers on the surface of Mars and eight spacecraft in orbit around Mars. Several new missions are about to launch, including the MMX mission to explore Phobos, Deimos, and Mars, scheduled for launch in 2026. 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. Abstracts 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.
