Martian dust devil photobombs NASA Perseverance rover in milestone selfie
A swirling Martian dust devil made a surprise appearance in a selfie captured by NASA's Perseverance rover on May 10, commemorating its 1,500th sol on Mars. The photo was taken while the rover was paused at "Witch Hazel Hill," located along the rim of Jezero Crater, where it has been conducting scientific investigations for five months.
According to Justin Maki, imaging lead at NASA's Jet Rocky road geology reveals billion year story inside martian crater
A newly released image from the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission reveals a crater layered with geological history and sculpted by ancient martian forces. Captured in October 2024 by the orbiter's High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), the scene features Deuteronilus Cavus, a 120-kilometer-wide depression in Mars's mid-latitudes where planetary highlands meet lowlands.
This nearl China opens international call for instruments on Tianwen-3 Mars mission
China is encouraging international researchers to join its Tianwen-3 Mars sample return mission by proposing scientific payloads for inclusion on the spacecraft.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has issued a global call for proposals, welcoming submissions from institutions abroad, including those in Hong Kong and Macao, for the development of instruments to be used on the up China places six satellites in orbit with latest Kinetica 1 mission
CAS Space, a commercial aerospace firm under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, launched its Kinetica 1-Y7 solid-propellant rocket on Wednesday, successfully deploying six satellites into space.
The rocket lifted off at 12:05 pm local time from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert. Onboard were three remote-sensing satellites, one radar satellite, a mini weather satellite, Revolutionary Passive Systems Transform Plant Watering in Microgravity
NASA is advancing innovative microgravity fluid management technologies that pave the way for efficient plant watering in space-without the need for moving parts.
Feeding astronauts on deep space missions with fresh produce will require robust plant cultivation methods. However, watering plants in microgravity presents unique problems. Without gravity, bubbles don't rise and droplets don't SpaceX deploys 23 Starlink satellites in first launch for new Falcon 9 booster
SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites from Florida in the first launch of its new Falcon 9 booster.
SpaceX confirmed early Wednesday that the satellites were deployed into low-Earth orbit before the booster landed on a SpaceX drone ship positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
The mission was slated for Monday, but the rocket auto-aborted two minutes and 28 seconds before NASA's Mars Perseverance snaps a selfie as a Martian dust devil blows by
