Medicine & TechnologyPerseverance joins another rover and lander currently working on Mars with other orbiters in the skies above. What sets this car-like robot apart?
The megaflood might have been the product of a meteoric effect generating fire in Mars. The chain of events could have eradicated the ice deposits on the Martian planet and caused gigantic ripples.
NASA has developed a set of technologies under its SPLICE project that will allow its future spacecraft to avoid boulders and craters in its identified safe landing site.
The car-size robotic rover tag as the "Curiosity" of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA has recently captured a 'crab-like' image on the red planet's surface.
The team in charge of the Curiosity rover recently had to find a new route to some interesting rocks that they wanted to study because the original path proved too difficult for the rover to safely traverse.
Scientists have wondered for over 50 years if Mars contained and was emitting Methane. Now, a spike in methane has scientists puzzled. Did the spike come from the Red Planet or was it simply caused by the rovers scouring the planet?
NASA's Curiosity Rover has been on the move heading towards some interesting rocks for further study. However, its chosen path proved to be too difficult for it to traverse due to the slippery slopes of the Martian mountain. However, scientists in charge of the mission were able to find a new path to the rocks that proved much safer and easier for the rover.
As more news about Mars enters our scientific community each day, the importance of making survival on Mars a priority is thrown into sharp relief. No longer remote, science-fiction the goal of transforming Mars for ourselves with technology is at the core of our next endeavor in space.
If you spend enough time on the surface of the Red Planet, you will be treated to something very different from Earth - a blue sunset as night falls. That's exactly what happened to NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover after waiting for three years to catch a glimpse of this phenomenon.
