Abu Dhabi UAE (Sputnik) Apr 23, 2015 - The United Arab Emirates (UAE) opened the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center on Saturday to oversee preparations of the country's Mars exploration probe mission. A resolution to this effect was
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 17, 2015 - Martian weather and soil conditions that NASA's Curiosity rover has measured, together with a type of salt found in Martian soil, could put liquid brine in the soil at night. Perchlorate ident
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 17, 2015 - NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is continuing science observations while on the move this month. On April 16, the mission passed 10 kilometers (6.214 miles) of total driving since its 2012 landing, incl
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 17, 2015 - Opportunity is on the west rim of Endeavour Crater near the entrance of Marathon Valley, a putative location for abundant clay minerals. The rover is positioned on a light-toned outcrop next
Copenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Apr 17, 2015 - Researchers have long known that there is water in the form of ice on Mars. Now, new research from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows that it is possible that there is liquid water close to the surfa
