Two papers recently released in the scholarly journal Science by Farley et al. and Liu et al., which describe recent major results from NASA's Mars 2020 mission provide new insight into the history of water on Mars.
On the red and dusty surface of Mars, nearly 100 million miles from Earth, an instrument the size of a lunchbox is proving it can reliably do the work of a small tree.
We kicked off Curiosity operations this morning with the news that our previous drive did not complete as planned.
After a successful 13 meter weekend drive, Curiosity finds itself in the middle of "Marker Band" valley.
Coming in to work on the three-sol plan for the weekend, we were met with another set of stunning Images of the landscape around us.
In its first year exploring Jezero Crater on Mars, the Perseverance rover collected rock samples that scientists anticipate will provide a long-awaited timeline for the planet's geologic and water history.
Scientists on NASA's Perseverance mission made a surprising discovery about the composition of rock in Jezero Crater, one that will help them get a better…
After a tantalizing year-and-a-half wait since the Mars Perseverance Rover touched down on our nearest planetary neighbor, new data is arriving - and bringing with it a few surprises.
The Mars 2020 Mission is pushing the boundaries of what is possible on Mars. The most incredible part of working on Mars 2020, for me, has been the versatility…
Scientists got a surprise when NASA's Perseverance Mars rover began examining rocks on the floor of Jezero Crater in spring of 2021: Because the crater…
The accepted view of Mars is red rocks and craters as far as the eye can see. That's much what scientists expected when they landed the rover Perseverance…
It was a busy day for the Curiosity uplink team! After our arm activity and data volume restrictions described by Lucy Thompson from last plan, we came in…
A new map of Mars is changing the way we think about the planet's watery past, and showing where we should land in the future.
After an extended stay at "Wildcat Ridge," the Perseverance team is preparing to head southwest to another sedimentary outcrop on the Jezero Crater delta called Enchanted Lake.
We are almost through Paraitepuy pass, an area between two large buttes that has made for tricky driving while dealing with communication challenges, sand and broken-up rocks.
Today we planned a single sol plan cramming lots of science into a small plan, before driving in the afternoon.
