NASA has pushed its first two crewed Artemis moon missions back to 2026 and 2027, and the move could have big ramifications.

HUMANS have already reached the Moon – and Mars seems like the obvious next step. But how will we get there? There are several mega-rockets already being developed that could take us to the red

Instead of a winter wonderland, the Red Planet's northern hemisphere goes through an active—even explosive—spring thaw. While New Year's Eve is around the corner here on Earth, Mars scientists are ahead of the game: The Red Planet completed a trip around the sun on Nov.

The recent images taken by MRO show the solar panels have acquired the same reddish-brown hue as the rest of the planet. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California used the photos to estimate the amount of dust that had accumulated, which will help prepare for future missions.

"She still has one final gift for us, which is that she's now going to continue on as a weather station of sorts."

"When running an accident investigation from 100 million miles away, you don't have any black boxes!" NASA's Håvard Grip said.

Researchers believe dark rocks at the site of a future Mars rover landing mission may be left over from ancient volcanic eruptions, and may be protecting signs of life — if there ever was life on Mars.

The space agency is looking to maintain human presence in the microgravity environment as it transitions to commercial stations.

The investigation suggests that a failure in Ingenuity's navigation system led to a hard landing, causing the mission to end.

After over 70 flights, the Ingenuity helicopter — the first craft to ever make a powered, controlled flight on another planet — crashed in the Martian dunes in January 2024. But its unexpected achievement (engineers hoped it might make five flights) has prompted the conceptual design and planning for what the agency calls its "Mars Chopper."

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter — the first aircraft to fly on another planet — recently crashed due to a navigation glitch. Despite this setback, Ingenuity’s successful flights demonstrated the feasibility of aerial exploration on Mars. Following its success, NASA is developing a more advanced second helicopter for aerial exploration.
