Oct 4, 2019NASA's InSight lander positioned its robotic arm to assist the spacecraft's self-hammering heat probe. But the probe has been unable to dig more than about 14 inches (35 centimeters) since it began burying itself into the ground on Feb. 28, 2019. -
Jul 20, 2019An interdisciplinary research group from Aarhus University has proposed a previously overlooked physical-chemical process that can explain methane's consumption on Mars. -
Jan 29, 2019Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have begun transmitting a new set of commands to the Opportunity rover in an attempt to compel the 15-year-old Martian explorer to contact Earth. -
Jan 1, 2019The long quest for liquid water on Mars may have finally met with success. -
Dec 31, 2018NASA's InSight lander successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile journey from Earth. -
Dec 22, 2018NASA's InSight lander is due to set its first science instrument on Mars in the coming days. But engineers here on Earth already saw it happen - last week. -
Dec 3, 2018With InSight safely on the surface of Mars, the mission team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is busy learning more about the spacecraft's landing site. -
Nov 29, 2018MarCO-B, one of the experimental Mars Cube One (MarCO) CubeSats, took this image of Mars from about 4,700 miles (7,600 kilometers) away during its flyby of the Red Planet on Nov. 26, 2018. -
Nov 27, 2018NASA's InSight lander successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile journey from Earth. -
Nov 26, 2018InSight won't be looking for life on Mars. But studying its insides could help scientists better understand how a planet's starting materials make it more or less likely to support life.
