NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover seeks signs of ancient life and collects samples of rock and regolith for possible Earth return.
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has used the drill on its robotic arm to take 32 rock samples to date. The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera on the end of the robotic arm, provided the images in this mosaic. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS ...
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has captured dramatic footage of Phobos, Mars’ potato-shaped moon, crossing the face of the Sun. These observations can help scientists better understand the moon’s orbit and how its gravity pulls on the Martian surface.
The panorama was made possible by one of the rover's wheels getting stuck pointed the wrong way, the robot equivalent of a sprained ankle, hence the nickname. A Nod to the Past (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell Univ./Arizona State Univ.) The Opportunity team dubbed this fairly ...

The rover traveled nearly 330 feet (100 meters) during its three months on Mars, never going more than 40 feet (12 m) from the lander. The rover sent more than 550 pictures, and the lander more than 16,500 images. Many of these pictures went up in nearly real-time on the Pathfinder...
Just days after NASA’s Perseverance rover gently dropped the Ingenuity helicopter on the surface of Mars, the robot companions took a selfie together on Tuesday and beamed it back to Earth. The rover used its robotic arm, which has a camera mounted on the end, to capture the image. The ...
