A small experimental device on NASA’s Perseverance robotic rover produced on the ground on Mars – doing the “work” of a small tree – enough oxygen to allow an astronaut to breathe for 100 minutes. The said MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) method is now to be used on a larger scale to […]

New NASA mission to Mars will return samples from the planet to Earth in 2033
Of Jamie Carter NASA is sending two helicopters to Mars — but no new rover — as part of a historic trip from Earth to Mars to collect rock samples. In the 17 months since landing on Mars, the Perseverance rover has collected 11 scientific samples of rock cores and one atmosphere sample. Once back […]
Roskosmos showed the stones rolled down on Mars in the “Labyrinth of the Night”
The press service of Roscosmos has published an interesting photograph of the surface of Mars, taken by the CaSSIS camera aboard the Trace Gas Orbiter orbiter of the Russian-European ExoMars mission. As the press service notes, in this photo, upon closer examination, you can see something more than a cursory glance. At the cliff cutting […]
The main New Year’s show: the eclipse of Mars by the Moon on the night of January 1
On the night of January 1, an interesting astronomical phenomenon will occur – the Moon will cover Mars, creating an “eclipse”. This was reported by the TASS news agency with reference to the head of the methodological support department of the Moscow Planetarium – Lyudmila Koshman. Lyudmila Koshman said: On New Year’s Eve from 21:23 […]
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter made its 18th flight to Mars
NASA’s Ingenuity small robotic helicopter – the first to fly to another world – continues unabated, after a temporary technical problem that had stuck it on the ground on Mars for about two weeks, and just made its 18th flight. of. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, Ingenuity flew this time […]
Elon Musk: I’m surprised if we do not step on Mars in the next five years
A new ambitious timetable for the “conquest” of Mars has been set by the billionaire head of SpaceX, Elon Musk, who places this big step for humanity much earlier than one imagined. achieved over the next five years. “I’m surprised if we do not step on Mars within the next five years,” Musk told Time […]
NASA is rigorously testing the Perseverance rover’s twin on Earth
The American Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA reported interesting news – testing of the “twin” of the Perseverance rover has begun on Earth. The full-scale engineering model of the Perseverance is named Optimism, derived from the Operational Perseverance Twin. On it, scientists will conduct a series of “tough” tests to assess the risk of potential […]
Perseverance rover sends stunning photos from Mars after forced hiatus
The US Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA has released the first photographs sent by the Perseverance rover after a forced hiatus. We will remind, NASA announced the termination of communication with spacecraft exploring Mars at the end of September. The reason for this forced step is the so-called “conjunction” – the Earth and Mars are […]
NASA: You Can Help Teach Rovers To Explore Mars Better
The US Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA has published a note with the intriguing headline “You Can Help Teach NASA Rovers to Explore Mars Better.” As the department explains, artificial intelligence has tremendous potential to change the way spacecraft study the universe. But since all machine learning algorithms require human training, NASA is asking members […]
The Perseverance rover will make a second attempt, in the hope that the soil will not “crumble”
The US Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA has released details of the second attempt at ground sampling by the Perseverance rover. On August 5, Perseverance made its first fence attempt and it failed. On August 11, NASA scientists published material describing the possible reason for the failure. The researchers agreed that the reason was not […]
