A: The three biggest space projects are the Mars Project, the Galileo Project, and the testing and construction of the International Space Station. In the Mars project, scientists are looking into the possibility and are actually testing whether man can walk on Mars. They are even going a step further by locking at theories about transforming the landscape of Mars into something similar to that of the Earth's.Galileo is an unmanned spacecraft that has been exploring our neighboring planets, particularly Jupiter and itsa moon. One of Galileo's discoveries has been the likelihood of am method of a melted saltwater ocean under Europa's icy crust, making that moon of great interests for future study of the possibility of extraterrestrial life. You can read about Galileo's mission in Jupiter.
The International Space Station is the largest and most complex international scientific project in history. Led by the United State, the International Space Station draws upon the scientific and technological resources of 16 nations: Canada, Japan, Russia, 11 nations of the European Space Agency and Brazil. When completed, the International Space Station will have a mass of about 1,040,000 pounds. It will measure 356 feet across and 290 feet long, with almost an acre of solar panels to provide electrical power to six state of-the-art laboratories
