Mars Express was launched by the European Space Agency in 2003 on a mission to explore the surface of the Red Planet from both orbit and ground level. The ground-based inspection didn't exactly go to plan, but that hasn't stopped the probe from spending a decade mapping the surface of Mars. Now the ESA has assembled a video based on the topographical data gathered by Mars Express, the effect of which is like flying over the sweeping ruddy planes of the alien world.
