MARS

The Mars 2020 rover, which NASA aims to land on the red planet in February 2021, is now ready to enter the final design and construction phase.

It’s been almost a year since these dark streaks were detected on the surface of the red planet. However, the mechanism behind their formation is still far from clear.

A new study posits that the red planet was once orbited by a third, much larger moon that fell back on Mars a few million years after its formation.

With NASA and other international space agencies hoping to send humans to live on Mars by the 2030s, a team of scientists has managed to harvest 10 crops in soil mimicking conditions on Mars.

The candy company is concerned desserts that feature its products, such as the McFlurry, exceed in a single serving the amount of sugar the U.S. recommends anyone eat in a day.

The agreement, signed Sunday, aims to increase collaboration between NASA and the UAE Space Agency on, among other things, exploration of Mars.

At its closest point May 30, the planet will be seen with the naked eye, appearing like a red star that will outshine Sirius, the brightest star in our sky.

Scientists may be able to use Mars as a parallel to learn more about Earth and the possibility of sending people to the red planet.

The country test launched its home-grown winged reusable launch vehicle Monday, joining Japan, Russia and Europe in the race.

A study revives the hypothesis that the red planet once had enough liquid water to form an ocean occupying almost half of its northern hemisphere.

A new image, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows in stunning detail, the surface of the red planet.

The structure, which the aerospace agency wants to place in orbit around the red planet by 2028, will serve as a stepping stone for humans seeking to land on Mars.

New evidence has provided scientists more information about Mars’ past, when its surface may have been warm and watery enough to sustain microbial life.

The rover, part of the second phase of the ExoMars Mission that was originally scheduled to begin in 2018, will now be launched in 2020.

The country will send an unmanned rover to Mars by "around 2020," the country’s top space official announced Friday.

The space agency, in collaboration with Microsoft, is working on a "mixed reality" exhibition that would offer the public a virtual tour of the red planet.

The lander was originally scheduled for launch this month, but it was postponed after NASA failed to repair a leak in a vacuum enclosure.

There are several theories regarding the formation of Phobos, ranging from captured asteroid to an ejected chunk of Mars.

NASA scientist Philip Lubin is working on perfecting laser technology that could propel a light spacecraft to Mars in as little as three days.
