Exploration of Mars and eventual human travel to it are nothing new. While manned missions have remained financial and logistical near-impossibilities, unmanned missions began in 1960. There have been around 50 Mars missions so far, of which about half have been successful — a testament to the ...
To advance toward this goal, NASA invested in the Orion crew spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) as initial key elements in the architecture for placing humans on Mars. In addition to those investments, technologies and hardware need to be developed. Translunar infrastructure will likely ...
Future of Mars Exploration: What's Next? NASA Poised to Join Europe's Mars Rover Mission "That price point [$800 million] is frankly around the point of a Discovery mission," McCuistion told SPACE.com. "Those missions tend to be characterized by simple systems, not too challenging." ...

A set of missions recommended by the Earth science decadal survey more than three years ago will be developed under a program called the Earth System Observatory, NASA and the White House announced May 24. The White House announced the Earth System Obser
They've used the model to replicate the three critical cycles of the Martian atmosphere — dust, water and carbon dioxide — and validated it based on the observations of Zhurong, China's Mars rover, and NASA's Viking 1 and 2 landers, as well as the Open-MARS reanalysis dataset, a glob...
