NASA’s Curiosity rover captured a remarkable image from its most recent perch on the side ofMars’ Mount Sharp. The mission team was so inspired by the beauty of the landscape, they combined two versions of the black-and-white images from different times of the day and added colors to cr...
Since then, engineers have been devising potential workarounds and testing them at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, which manages Curiosity's mission. [Photos: Spectacular Mars Vistas by NASA's Curiosity Rover] The most promising of these alternate drilling ...
Moreover, our inherent curiosity and exploratory spirit constitute an integral aspect of our humanity. Fueled by our inventive capacity, drives us to venture into future scenarios that we can explore as individuals and as a society. Consequently, the possibility of a future in space has sparked ...
It is similar to the parachute successfully flown by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover in 2012, but designed to be a little stronger, given Perseverance is heavier than Curiosity. In this photo from June 2017, the parachute was tested in a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center in ...

Engineers spend about a half hour to an hour alone processing the images that Curiosity sends back, stitching together wide angle photos, or lining up stereo images that let humans—or rovers—deduce information about depth from two-dimensional pictures. ...
The deposits serve as a watermark created by climate fluctuations as the Martian environment transitioned from a wetter one to the freezing desert it is today, according to the paper. This latest clue may be a sign of findings to come as Curiosity heads toward a region called the "sulfate-be...
