NASA researchers are developing the future of flight on Mars, laying the groundwork for helicopters with the ability to fly higher and farther while conducting science on the Red Planet. Using high-fidelity computer simulations and wind tunnel tests,

NASA officials will give an update today (Oct. 15) on an upcoming Japan-led mission to send a spacecraft to Mars' two moons, Deimos and Phobos.

Four volunteers have spent an entire year isolated inside a simulated Martian habitat in Houston, testing how humans might endure life on another planet. According to NASA, the experiment is part of a 378-day mission designed to investigate the physical,

This animated orbital-map view shows the route NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has taken from time of its 2021 landing to Oct. 11, 2026 — the day it broke the off-world driving record previously held by the agency’s Opportunity rover. As of that date, Perseverance has driven over 28 miles (45 kilometers).

Currently, about 16,000 satellites are orbiting Earth, providing everything from GPS service and weather reports to phone service in remote locations to people across the globe. In contrast, the highest-ever number of active satellites in orbit around Mars,

Perseverance traveled 28.1 miles, surpassing the distance Opportunity covered during its nearly 15-year mission
