NASA gave the world a tour of Mars using the high resolution 360-degree panorama Perseverance sent back from the Red Planet. The rover captured the scene using its powerful Mast Camera Mastcam-Z for short, as it sat about one and a half miles from the basin of the Jezero Crater with mountains in the distance … Read more
NASA shared an image showing moments after ‘sky crane’ intentionally crashed into Mars after it safely delivered the Perseverance rover to the Red Planet. The sky crane lowered the car-sized rover to Martian surface with long mechanical bridles and flew off to a safe distance where it crashed into the surface – and Perseverance captured … Read more
How important is the presence of liquid water? It is now widely believed that Mars holds a reasonably large volume of water. However, the surface of the planet is so cold, this water exists only as ice. In order for life to exist on a planet, many scientists believe it is essential for the world … Read more

Mars as you’ve never seen it before: Surface of the Red Planet looks maroon… but it’s just NASA’s camera on the blink NASA’s Perseverance rover has taken a series of breathtaking pictures of the colourful surface of the Mars Rover, which landed last week, was the first to video its own landing and has taken … Read more
The world received the first up-close look of a spacecraft landing on Mars in a video beamed back to NASA by its ‘most sophisticated’ rover, Perseverance, which touched down Thursday. The video begins with the violent release of the sonic parachute from the rover, along with ejection of the heat shield and shows the moment the … Read more

Ingenuity, the mini-helicopter attached to NASA‘s Perseverance Mars rover, has sent its first status update to Earth in a milestone ahead of the first attempt at powered flight on the Red Planet. Mission controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California said on Saturday that the downlink from Ingenuity confirmed that the helicopter and … Read more
