NASA/Goddard/UMBC/MIT/E. Mazarico A new gravity map of Marsthat shows the thickness of the Martian crust based on gravity measurements from Martian orbiters, reveals a crust that is less dense and shows less variation than earlier maps. “The researchers mapped the density of the Martian cru...
(Image credit: NASA) A new high-resolution map of Mars's magnetic field indicates that the red planet's crust once moved like present-day Earth's. The map was pieced together from observations of Mars's magnetic field taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor (MGS). It reveals that the pl...
It also reports that the map plays a role in evaluating potential landing sites for the next Mars rover of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Mars Science Laboratory, due for launched in late 2011.EBSCO_AspScience Teacher...
The 4-pound, 19-inch-tall helicopter arrived on Mars with Perseverance in a dramatic landing captured in high-definition video. Ingenuity ended up assisting the rover mission by providing aerial imagery that enabled mission specialists on Earth to map the safest and most efficient routes for Persev...

NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover seeks signs of ancient life and collects samples of rock and regolith for possible Earth return.
NASA on Thursday hopes to see the completion of a 300-million-mile voyage from Earth to Mars with the landing of a rover that will search for signs of ancient life on the red planet. READ: NASA’s Mars Rover Launch Appears Successful The rover, named Persev...
When you enter the model the main world with the HUD, the map, etc. gets loaded. This world inlines 9 sub tiles. The sub tiles are arranged in a square so that the user position is on the middle one of the 9 tiles. If you move off of the middle tile, the 3 tiles that are no...
