NASA is moving forward with 10 studies to examine more affordable and faster methods of bringing samples from Mars' surface back to Earth as part of the

This Oct. 29, 2018, image from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captures geysers of gas and dust that occur in springtime in the South

On episode 329, the CHAPEA crew checks in on their eighth month in a Mars simulated habitat and a NASA biostatistician discusses the process of analysis, interpretation, and presentation of scientific data.

On Aug. 18, 2023, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) captured ridged lines carved onto Mars' landscape by the gradual movement of ice. While surface ice

NASA has retired the InSight Mars lander mission after the probe failed to respond to two signals from controllers at the Jet Propulsion Lab in California. The mission studied the composition of Mars for over four years.

NASA held two workshops in mid-February to share the latest progress on the agency's Moon to Mars architecture and solicit feedback from industry,

NASA will host a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EDT, Monday, April 15, to discuss the agency's response to a Mars Sample Return Independent Review Board

NASA has selected a crew of four volunteers to participate in a simulated journey to Mars inside a habitat at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The Odyssey orbiter captured clouds and dust in the Red Planet's skies, along with one of its two tiny moons.

NASA's Curiosity rover, currently exploring Gale crater on Mars, is providing new details about how the ancient Martian climate went from potentially suitable for life – with evidence for widespread liquid water on the surface – to a surface that is inhospitable to terrestrial life as we know it.

The first crew to take part in a yearlong NASA Mars analog mission reached the 200 day mark of its mission Jan. 11.

NASA has selected a new crew of four volunteers to participate in a simulated mission to Mars within a habitat at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Scientists believe to have discovered a massive cache of precious gemstones on the surface of Mars. No, we're not talking about diamonds — according to a study published last month in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets by a team of Arizona State University and NASA-affiliated researchers, the Red Planet's Gale Crater is teeming with […]

NASA hosted its second annual Architecture Concept Review in mid-November, bringing together leaders from across the agency to discuss progress on and updates

NASA has extended flight operations of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter through September. In the months ahead, history's first aircraft to operate from the surface of another world will support the Perseverance rover's upcoming science campaign exploring the ancient river delta of Jezero Crater. Along the way, it will continue testing its own capabilities to support the design of future Mars air vehicles.

55 years ago, on March 27, 1969, an Atlas-Centaur rocket launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending Mariner 7 on its way to study Mars.

NASA and the European Space Agency are developing plans for one of the most ambitious campaigns ever attempted in space: bringing the first samples of Mars material safely back to Earth for detailed study. The diverse set of scientifically curated samples now being collected by NASA's Mars Perseverance rover could help scientists answer the question of whether ancient life ever arose on the Red Planet.

Media are invited to visit NASA's simulated Mars habitat on Monday, March 10, at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The simulation will help
