Perched along the rugged western rim of Jezero Crater, NASA's Perseverance rover snapped a dramatic new selfie revealing ancient Martian terrain, fractured cliffs and clues to the Red Planet's distant past.

NASA’s Perseverance rover is living up to its name as its total distance traveled approaches the length of a marathon. Over the past five years, this intrepid explorer has traversed more than 26.05 miles (41.

Perseverance captured the composite image using 61 individual snapshots taken by the camera mounted at the end of its robotic arm, according to NASA.

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.
