NASA’s Perseverance rover has just done something no Mars robot has attempted before: follow a route that was planned not by human drivers on Earth, but by an artificial intelligence model. Instead of engineers painstakingly tracing a safe path through satellite images,

NASA's Artemis II mission will transport four astronauts around the moon, bringing the agency one step closer to sending the first astronauts to Mars. Throughout Artemis II, astronaut voices, images,

On November 13, NASA launched a new unmanned mission to Mars under the name ESCAPADE, short for Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers. The launch was met with fairly little fanfare in the press; unmanned Mars missions aren't exactly novel ...

NASA has lost contact with its MAVEN spacecraft that has been orbiting Mars for more than a decade. The orbiter, one of three zooming around Mars' atmosphere, had been working as expected before it suddenly ceased communications with ground stations ...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence. Executed on Dec. 8 and 10, and led by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California,

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and terrain data normally used by rover planners,

What everyone agrees on is that NASA needs a new spacecraft capable of relaying communications from Mars to Earth. This issue has become especially acute with the recent loss of NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft. NASA’s best communications relay remains the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has now been there for 20 years.

The strongest hints yet that Mars once hosted living microbes are no longer theoretical models or ambiguous chemistry. They are etched into a single, oddly speckled rock in an ancient riverbed, where a robotic geologist has been quietly drilling and sampling for years.
