The White Houses 2023 federal budget request allocates no money to NASAs Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), a modified Boeing 747 jet equipped with a telescope.

The NASA-ESA campaign to haul Mars samples back to Earth will require two Red Planet landers instead of one. The change will delay the arrival of samples here by two years, to no earlier than 2033.

Linking Glaciers on Earth to the Climate on Mars April 30, 2021• Physics 14, 62 Geophysicist Jack Holt explains how Earth’s debris-covered glaciers can teach us about the climate history of Mars. Jack Holt × As a student, Jack Holt had three loves: geology, exploring remote mountain regions, and aviation. Now, as a geophysicist at the University of Arizona, he’s merged those loves into his academic pursuits. Holt has tracked the history of Earth’s magnetic field, which required ...

NASA working on possible robotic Mars ice mapping mission Shane McGlaun - Feb 8, 2021, 5:56am CST NASA and a trio of international partners have signed a statement of intent to advance a possible robotic Mars ice mapping mission. The goal of the mission is to help identify abundant and accessible ice and future candidate landing sites on Mars. The agencies are working together on an agreement to establish a joint concept team to assess mission potential and partnership opport...

December 30, 2020 The Mars Ice Mapper is a proposed Mars satellite being developed by NASA in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency. Its job is to create detailed geographic maps of water ice across the surface of the red planet. Upper layers of frozen carbon dioxide have melted to reveal layers of frozen water ice at the south pole of Mars in this image taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, via NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona. A new Mars mission is finally underway. On D...
