Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 29, 2010 - The ground where NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit became stuck last year holds evidence that water, perhaps as snow melt, trickled into the subsurface fairly recently and on a continuing basis.
Beijing (XNA) Oct 25, 2010 - China has drawn up a technical plan for an independent Mars orbiter exploration project, according to China's space technology expert. The plan was based on research conducted by the China Aca
Pullman WA (SPX) Oct 25, 2010 - For the chance to watch the sun rise over Olympus Mons, or maybe take a stroll across the vast plains of the Vastitas Borealis, would you sign on for a one-way flight to Mars? It's a question
Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 22, 2010 - A newly installed webcam is giving the public an opportunity to watch technicians assemble and test the next NASA Mars rover, one of the most technologically challenging interplanetary missions ever
Pasadena CA (SPX) Oct 22, 2010 - Opportunity crossed the 24-kilometer (15-mile) odometry mark on her way to Endeavour crater. The rover ended last week with the data backlog which limited activities over the weekend. On Sol 2
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Oct 22, 2010 - A couple of clicks of the mouse are enough to send the ExoMars rover with its six flexible metal wheels moving across the sand tank towards the first obstacle. Bernhard Rebele, Maximilian Apfelbeck

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 13, 2010 - There are few places on Mars lower than this. The floor of Melas Chasma sinks nine kilometres below the surrounding plains. New images from the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsche Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) operated High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA's Mars Express orbiter highlight the complex history of this enormous martian canyon.
