Engineers are working to stabilize a dust cover on one of the science instrument's cameras.

The space agency's proposed longterm strategy for exploring the Red Planet involves lower-cost missions and paving the way for humans to land on Mars.

Measuring the fuel supply on Odyssey, a decades-old spacecraft without a fuel gauge, is no easy task.

The top scientists at NASA have been left baffled by perfectly circular sand dunes spotted on Mars by its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter while taking pictures at the end of Martian winter

The sample tube, which is filled with rock, will be one of 10 forming a depot of tubes that the Mars Sample Return campaign could consider for a trip to Earth for in-depth analysis. On December 22, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover placed a titanium tube containing a rock sample on the Red Planet's

In the coming days, NASA's Perseverance rover is expected to begin building the first sample depot on another world. This will mark a crucial milestone in the NASA-ESA (European Space Agency) Mars Sample Return campaign, which aims to bring Mars samples to Earth for closer study.

Christmas came a little early for NASA's InSight mission last December when the lander detected a massive quake on Mars. A space rock slammed into Mars on December 24, creating a crater and revealing ice buried near the Martian equator.

The Perseverance rover is collecting samples on Mars and scouting locations where future missions can land -- and launch from -- the red planet, to return precious Martian samples to Earth for the first time.

NASA's InSight Mars lander may be retiring soon, but the data it supplied to our scientists will not be. Here are some of the most notable discoveries made on Mars.

The recent discovery could help NASA's scientists to learn more about the history of Mars' crater.

Perseverance is at its second stage now, at Mars' river Delta.

ESA announced its joint ExoMars program with Russia's Roscosmos is "unlikely" to launch this year. The mission entails sending a rover to Mars to drill and search for signs of life.

NASA's Perseverance rover has notched up a slew of firsts since touching down on Mars one year ago, on Feb. 18, 2021, and the six-wheeled scientist has other important accomplishments in store as it speeds toward its new destination and a new science campaign.

An image authentically shows Saturn photographed from NASA's Cassini spacecraft during its final mission in 2017.

Mars is a planet of vast contrasts – huge volcanoes, deep canyons, and craters that may or may not host running water. It will be an amazing location for future tourists to explore, once we put the first Red Planet colonies into motion.

Twelve years ago, NASA landed its six-wheeled science lab using a daring new technology that lowers the rover using a robotic jetpack.

NASA's images show SLIM's landing site both before and after the probe's touchdown.

NASA 'sCuriosity Rover filmed footage from dawn to dusk, capturing half a day on Mars as it sat waiting for contact with ground control Nov. 8.

After 1,000 days on the Martian surface, the Perseverance rover has collected samples that reveal the history of water within Jezero Crater.
