NASA has shared a collection of images along with a video of the Mars rover Perseverance capturing a rock sample from an ancient environment.

How do you launch a rocket from Mars? NASA's jaw-dropping plan involves pitching it in the air and igniting it aloft.

An overview of the 2023 Independent Review Board report on the state and future of Mars Sample Return.

After making a successful landing on the moon earlier this month, India's Chandrayaan-3 rover is finally off exploring the lunar south pole.

A detour into the future of physics.

Huntsville AL (SPX) Aug 01, 2023 - NASAs Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) recently reached some major milestones in support of the Mars Sample Return program. The Mars Ascent Vehicle would be the first launch of a rocket from the surface o

For more than two years, NASA’s Perseverance rover has been roaming Mars, drilling for rock samples that may hold clues to ancient life on the Red Planet, but the six-wheeled robot can only travel so far. Luckily, the rover recently got some extra help from a river that once flowed on the surface of Mars.

The six-wheeled Perseverance explorer just packed its 20th sample from the Red Planet, which will hopefully be returned to Earth via a future mission.

The House has yet to weigh in. And much can still happen before this threat is realized.

Most missions collect samples and analyze them in situ with relatively basic instruments. This mission takes a totally different approach.
