 The race to find life on Mars is set to begin on Monday with the launch of Europe's first voyage to another planet.


Three probes are leaving Earth this summer, starting with the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission.
It carries the Beagle 2 lander, which, if all goes well, will become the first British-built craft to touch down on another world.
The launch marks the start of a new golden age in Mars exploration.
The US space agency (Nasa) is sending two missions to the fourth planet. The first of its Mars Exploration Rovers should leave Earth in a week or so.
Another Mars traveller is destined to arrive early next year. Japan's Nozomi craft should reach the planet early in 2004 after a long journey beset by mishaps.
