What are all the names of the man made satellites that are currently en
route to Mars and when are they expected to get there. Any web site links would be appreciated. Thank you.

Any web site links would be appreciated. Thank you. NASA/JPL sent two Mars Exploration Rovers, called "Spirit" and "Opportunity", ESA sent Mars Express and I think the Japanese (?) sent another probe called Nozomi. They are expected to reach Mars around December this year. At http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mer/mission...trightnow.html you can see their current positions en route to their destination, they're quite one happy bunch :-) -- The butler did it.

If all four probes en route make it to Mars, we will have a total of four orbiters and three landers (two of which are rovers), all operating simultaneously, early next year. We are a two-planet species. Get used to it.
