Since it drove onto Mars, the rover has been traveling south and conducting detections. Its navigation camera has captured the images of the landform along the way. During its journey, the surface-search radar, meteorology monitor and magnetic field detector all work to conduct su...
The OMEGA imaging spectrometer on the Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft has been gathering data relevant to the mineralogy of the martian surface since January, 2004. OMEGA has a wavelength range of 0.35 to 5.1 碌m in 352 spectral bands and a spatial resolution between 0.3 and 4.8 km/pixel as...
NASA’s newest rover has made it to the surface of Mars. After a journey of nearly seven months, the Perseverance rover landed on the Red Planet on 18 February. The success of the landing was by no means a foregone conclusion – of all the missions to Mars’s surface, only abo...
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has released the most thorough map of the Martian surface to date. The new map of Mars, which was released Monday (July 14), was created using observations from four orbiting spacecraft over more than 16 years. It should significantly advance ...
The Hope orbiter got closer to Mars’s moons Deimos and Phobos than any probe before, collecting unprecedented images and data that hints at the moons’ true origins
Another European spacecraft known as the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has taken detailed pictures of the ice spiders as well. Credit: ESA / TGO / CaSSIS "The emerging gas, laden with dark dust, shoots up through cracks in the ice in the form of tall fountains or geysers, before falling bac...

Even better, the rover's various engineering cameras will send back 20-megapixel full-colour pictures of its surroundings (compared to 1 megapixel black-and-white from Curiosity). These will be, quite simply, the best images of the surface of Mars we h...
Researchers believe the new findings bolster previous research, which suggested the possibility of a large saltwater lake beneath the surface of Mars. The research is exciting scientists because liquid water is a key ingredient to life as we know it, and new findings could pave t...
(NASA) – With InSight safely on the surface of Mars, the mission team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is busy learning more about the spacecraft’s landing site. They knew when InSight landed on Nov. 26 that the spacecraft had touched down on target, a l...
