The proposal asks $8.1 billion for the Artemis programme, which aims to send astronauts to Mars, through NASA's Moon to Mars exploration approach

He explained that this indicates that "sand generally moves to the south, but the winds may be variable"

Russia called a Security Council meeting on its claims last Thursday, which the United States and its Western allies vehemently dismissed

NASA has laser marked graffiti on Martian rocks to identify rock samples that will be brought to Earth for study

NASA's Perseverance rover on Tuesday completed the collection of the first sample of Martian rock, a core from Jezero Crater slightly thicker than a pencil.

NASA's newest six-wheeled robot on Mars, the Perseverance rover, is beginning an epic journey across a crater floor seeking signs of ancient life, the US space agency announced on Thursday

First came the amazing pictures, then the video. Now Nasa is sharing sounds of its little helicopter humming through the thin Martian air

The growing list of "firsts" for Perseverance, Nasa's newest six-wheeled robot on the Martian surface, includes converting some of the Red Planet's thin, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere into oxygen

NASA is targeting no earlier than Monday, April 19, for the first flight of its Ingenuity Mars Helicopter

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is two days away from making humanity's first attempt at powered, controlled flight of an aircraft on another planet

The rover is in transit to the 'airfield' where the Ingenuity will attempt to fly. Once deployed, it will have 30 Martian days, or sols, (31 Earth days) to conduct its test flight campaign

NASA's newest Mars rover hit the dusty red road this week, putting 21 feet on the odometer in its first test drive.

Biden congratulated the NASA team responsible for last month's successful landing of rover on Mars and for giving the country a "dose of confidence"

According to a release by NASA, it was the rover's second panorama ever, as the rover's Navigation Cameras, or Navcams, also located on the mast, captured a 360-degree view on February 20

The timing is not a coincidence. It's driven by celestial mechanics. At their closest, the Earth (third planet from the Sun) and Mars (fourth planet) are "merely" 56-65 million km apart

Engineers wanted an unusual pattern in the nylon fabric to know how the parachute was oriented during descent. Turning it into a secret message was "super fun," he said Tuesday

The quality was so good - and the images so breathtaking - that members of the rover team said they felt like they were riding along

Mars-bound missions from US, UAE and China will arrive in February with plans to deepen human understanding of the possibility of life beyond Earth

The helicopter onboard the Perseverance rover aims to add the aerial dimension to Mars exploration, which remains unavailable to date

Washington [US], February 19 (ANI): The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Perseverance rover on Thursday (local time) successfully touched down on the surface of Mars after surviving a blazing seven-minute plunge through the Martian atmosphere. Among the scientists who are part of this historic mission, Indian-American Dr Swati Mohan spearheaded the development of attitude control and the landing system for the rover."Touchdown confirmed! Perseverance is safely on the surface of Mars, ready to begin seeking the signs of past life," exclaimed NASA engineer Dr Swati Mohan.When the world watched the dramatic landing, in the control room, calm and composed bindi-clad Dr Mohan was communicating and coordinating between the GN & C subsystem and the rest of the project's team.Apart from being the lead systems engineer during the development process, she also looks after the team and schedules the mission control staffing for GN & C.NASA scientist Dr Mohan ...
