Martian rocks and atmosphere could hold the signs of ancient life on the planet.
NASA will host a livestream about "new science results" from its Curiosity rover on Mars on Thursday afternoon.
The deployment of the lab on May 31 marks a major milestone for NASA, which has worked extremely hard to fix Curiosity’s drilling and sample analysis capabilities.
The findings of the latest study could help NASA and ESA determine potential landing and target sites for their future Mars missions.
An astronaut and formal naval officer, Alan Bean flew into space on two occasions – as part of the NASA’s Apollo 12 and Skylab II missions. He was the fourth man to walk on the moon.
Curiosity's original drilling mechanism went offline in 2016, taking away the vehicle’s critical ability to analyze powder samples from Martian rocks.
The CubeSat, dubbed Wall-E, launched with InSight lander on May 5 and is currently on its way to the red planet.
The helicopter is just as big as a softball and will fly to the red planet with the agency's Mars 2020 rover.
The lander will reach the red planet in November and study mysteries of its interior.
The find could help scientists look for signs of ancient Martian life if it had existed sometime in the planet's distant past.
InSight is a lander mission to Mars, and the spacecraft will be the first interplanetary launch for NASA to take place from the West Coast.
Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, or InSight, is a NASA lander mission to Mars — a spacecraft that will stay stationary on the red planet’s surface.
However, the agency will not delay the launch of the mission, which has been scheduled for July 2020.
The image is a composite created from three different shots taken during the testing of the orbiter's camera system.
The ambitious mission could give us critical insight into Martian history and the possibility of life there.
The mysterious surface features were spotted by NASA's Curiosity rover in 2017.
The study suggested the Red Planet might have collided with an object as big as asteroids Ceres or Vesta.
Understanding mysterious depressions like these could give astronomers new insights into the history of Mars.
A study suggested the specific climate conditions in the skies above Venus's blazing surface could be hospitable to bacterial life.
The mission, slated to launch in 2020, will take the vehicle and science platform to the Martian orbit and deploy the two on a descent module to fall and soft-land on the planet’s surface.
Mars once had massive oceans which new research claims formed earlier than is currently thought, and could exist because of the largest volcano system on the red planet.
The DNA of NASA astronaut Scott Kelly no longer matches his twin's after spending nearly a year living on the International Space Station.
