NASA’s Mars Rover Curiosity is now getting ready to begin its journey to Mount Sharp — the rover’s primary science destination on the Red Planet. The enormous Mount Sharp has been Curiosity’s eventual goal since the early planning stages of the Mars Science Laboratory mission. Before beginning the 5-mile journey to Mount Sharp, Curiosity has […]

NASA’s relentless solar-powered Mars rover Opportunity has now set a new record — greatest distance traveled by a US made vehicle on another world. The Opportunity rover was originally scheduled only for a three-month mission that began back in January 2004, but the solar-powered rover has shown itself to be quite tough and long-lasting —

NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity is now gearing up to do its second-ever rock drilling and sampling. Curiosity is scheduled to begin the move to the “Cumberland” rock within the next few days. The “Cumberland” rock is only around nine feet to the west of the first rock that Curiosity drilled back in February. Since then,
NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity recently used its rock drill to take a sample of the material inside of a Martian rock for the first time. Now that an analysis has been done on that material it is very clear that Mars could have very likely supported microbial life in its ancient past. The analysis confirmed
Previously hidden subsurface flood channels have been discovered on Mars by researchers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. These newly discovered flood channels are providing further evidence that earlier in its history Mars was warmer and wetter. “Mars is considered to have been cold and dry over the past 2.5 billion years, but these channels

A large solar flare erupted from the Sun on March 5th, accompanied by a large CME. As a result NASA decided to temporarily power down their Mars rover Curiosity, in order to help protect it from the blast. Curiosity has already been dealing with a computer glitch and subsequent switch to a backup over the

NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has been forced to a backup computer as a result of a computer glitch. engineers made the switch to the secondary computer while they work on the problem. As of right now, Curiosity’s science missions are being placed on hold, in “safe mode”, until the backup computer is updated so that

Plans for a privately-funded manned mission to the planet Mars in 2018 have been revealed by the Inspiration Mars Foundation. The foundation is being led by the American multimillionaire Dennis Tito, and are aiming to be there first to bring humans to the planet Mars, launching their mission in only 5 years. The nonprofit organization
The first sample of material ever taken from the inside of a rock on another planet has been obtained by NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity. NASA just released new images showing the drilled material. The sample material will give researchers a look into what Mars was like during the rock material’s formation. “Seeing the powder from
