Two first-timer Mars missions slipped flawlessly into orbit this week Scott Sutherland After travelling for millions of kilometres through interplanetary space, two missions from first-time Mars explorers have arrived at their destination! Mars active robot population is getting a substantial boost in 2021. The Curiosity rover is still exploring Gale Crater and Mount Sharp, and the InSight lander continues to listen for marsquakes, with a new mission extension until the end of 2...

The UAE’s Hope Probe is arriving at Mars and will attempt to orbit it The United Arab Emirates’ first mission to Mars will arrive at the red planet on Tuesday and will attempt a tricky maneuver to place it in orbit. The Emirates Mars Mission is known as the Hope Probe, and it is expected to arrive at Mars and send back a signal confirming it’s in orbit. “The historic moment is here. The Delta V thrusters of the #HopeProbe has been fired. We are officially in the Mars Orbit Insertion pha...
