NASA's Perseverance rover took its sixth ever selfie from the red planet during a recent excursion west of Mars' Jezero Crater. And, researchers studying the pollution from satellite megaconstellations found the soot from these launches may have some concerning climate effects.

On Thursday, NASA issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), seeking industry collaboration for the Mars Telecommunications Network.

Somewhere between Earth and Mars, a spacecraft the size of a tennis court is gliding in silence. NASA’s Psyche probe shut down its electric thrusters after nearly 11 months of continuous firing and is now coasting on a precise,

As scientists search for life beyond Earth, spacecraft need to avoid accidentally bringing organisms from our home planet to other celestial bodies. It would be unfortunate to discover that an “alien” life form was simply a hitchhiker.

Nasa is developing ways to use nuclear power to send spacecraft to their destinations. Nuclear propulsion could greatly reduce the journey time to Mars, perhaps cutting a voyage of more than six months to three or four months.

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, have demonstrated that the blades of their next-generation Mars helicopter rotors can punch past the speed of sound and come out intact.

NASA's Curiosity rover has been exploring Mars for 14 years. See a new timelapse showing six years of wear and tear on its wheels.

Exploring Mars used to be a top priority for NASA and SpaceX. But a dramatic shift is underway as the administration tries to cut science spending and return to the moon.
