Astrobiologists are thinking seriously about sending weather stations, gene sequencers, drilling rigs and more to Mars for the life search operation, as still no not such sign of life has been found on the red planet.
The first test flight of NASA's Orion capsule, designed to one day carry people to Mars, has been delayed until 2019 at the earliest due to high costs, the US space agency said Friday.
Brown University geologist Peter Schultz revealed the reason behind the scoured surface streaks on Mars. An impact crater on Mars generates tornado-like winds that make such patterns.
NASA’s Deep Space Network can face a great challenge regarding its communication from the spacecraft due to a traffic jam in Mars, which is expected after 2020.
Though there are still debates whether the red planet, Mars is available for habitat, still there are things to consider for it is dangerous. However, some study saw that there is a possibility by 2030 it will be available for human.
Explorers planning to settle on Mars might be able to turn the planet's red soil into bricks without needing to use an oven or additional ingredients. Instead, they would just need to apply pressure to compact the soil, the equivalent of a blow from a hammer.
To measure the chemical condition of Atmosphere researchers have built miniaturized version of Laser heterodyne radiometry technique, called Mini-LHR. It can withstand even in the hostile environment and precisely monitor atmosphere.
Scientists from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the University of Arizon has discovered Mars' millions-year-old lull in large impacts in the Martian history.
Brown University's latest research shows that the Northeast Syrtis Major was more discovered to have more key mineral deposits across the surface, highest resolution images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows.
Mars rover Opportunity is now heading towards Perseverance Valley after completing its mission at Cape Tribulation. The rover has spent 30 months at this crater ridge by analyzing the soil components.
A new method has used simulated Martian and lunar dust to 3D print flexible, tough rubber tools.The near lack of an atmosphere and weather on Mars does have some advantages, as does the highly reduced gravity compared to Earth. The 3D printed buildings will not need to withstand strong winds or gravitational pressure, which will add to the longevity of the infrastructure.
