China’s Zhurong rover has been snapped by powerful cameras aboard several spacecraft circling Mars. One of the images — a high-resolution colour shot (above) taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) — offers scientists an extremely detailed view of the landing site....
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...

China's first rover onMars, the six-wheeled Zhurong, rolled onto the Red Planet's surface late Friday (May 21) to begin exploring its new home: the vast Martian plain of Utopia Planitia. Zhurong,which landed on Mars a weekearlier on May 14, drove on to the Martian surface from its la...
Over twice as large and five times heavier than either of the twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity that landed on Mars in 2004, Curiosity weighed too much to be bounced to the surface in airbags or fly itself all the way down with rocket thrusters — systems successfully used by six p...
The circular pattern you see in the image was created by the tools Perseverance uses to investigate Mars rocks.Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech In the past, NASAhas characterized rovers like Perseveranceas "robot geologists." When it comes to the study of rocks, the rover uses a built-in abrasion ...
Over the last few days, Curiosity has finally booted up its two high-resolution, full-color mast cameras: Mastcam 34 and Mastcam 100. Curiosity has also taken its first steps towards detecting water on the surface of Mars -- and at a press conference yes
The surface of Earth has an environment that is rich in oxygen and moisture - both of which are rapidly destructive to iron meteorites. A meteorite that lands on Earth's surface would rust away in a blink of geologic time. Mars, however, has very little oxygen and moisture in its ...
