NASA on Thursday provided a look at what has been gathered during an amazing mission to Mars.

The selfie NASA’s Perseverance rover took on the surface of Mars on April 6 was actually 62 images stitched together by JPL scientists to look like one. The process involved over a dozen people and took about a week to code.

NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter, designed and built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, flew faster and farther Sunday than in any tests it went through on Earth, officials said.

The huge parachute used by NASA’s Perseverance rover to land on Mars contained a secret message.

Stunning video released Monday shows the high-stakes descent of the rover Perseverance from several angles as it streaks toward the surface of Mars before a gentle touchdown.

NASA shared footage captured by the Perseverance rover as it landed on Mars last week.

NASA’s team of scientists who navigated the landing of rover Perseverance on the surface of Mars broke out in applause as the device made contact with the planet after being in orbit since July.

If everything goes as planned, this Thursday, February 18, the fifth NASA Rover will arrive to Mars. Mars 2020 / Perseverance, a long-term robotic exploration effort of the red planet that seeks to explore the potential for life on Mars, has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of an extensive group of scientists and engineers.

A series of hold-your-breath moments Thursday will determine the success or failure of NASA’s Perseverance mission when the agency attempts to land its fifth rover on Mars.

NASA’s latest mission to Mars is officially underway. The Perseverance rover lifted-off from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 4:50 a.m. California time Thursday aboard an Atlas V rocket. Several San Diego-based companies were watching closely, including ATA Engineering in Sabre Springs. “Every time I watch a launch I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes,” said Tricia Sur, Vice President...

A new and better-equipped exploration rover is on its 300 million-mile journey to Mars Thursday morning after lifting off from Cape Canaveral on the Florida coast.  Rover Perseverance is hitching a ride aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket that blasted off at about 4:50 a.m. California time. NASA’s science mission chief, Thomas Zurbuchen, pronounced the launch the…

NASA is launching a spaceship to the planet Mars. On board is a Mars rover named Perseverance. This mission, set to launch Thursday morning, is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and this trip is like nothing we’ve ever seen. The Mars rover is the size of a car, 10 feet long, 9 feet wide and 7 feet…

You’re invited to participate in a virtual experience as NASA gets ready to launch its Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. The launch is scheduled for 4:50 a.m. PDT, Thursday, July 30 in Cape Canaveral, FL. The rover will land at Jezero Crater on Feb. 18, 2021. After landing, the rover will be collecting rock and soil samples to bring back to Earth....
