Any vehicle traversing the rocky terrain on Mars needs a sturdy set of wheels. NASA’s Perseverance rover, for example, sports thick aluminum ones covered in cleats to enhance its traction and mobility.

The signs of wave ripples in the sandy shores of ancient lake beds, created as wind pushed water back and forth have been found on Mars providing evidence that there were open bodies of water, not just ice, on the planet's surface.

Nuclear propulsion could be the future of space travel and NASA and General Atomics just brought us one step closer.

The mystique of Mars has been studied for centuries. The fourth planet from the sun is reminiscent of a rich, red desert and features a rugged surface challenging to traverse. While several robotic missions have landed on Mars,

The next Mars rovers may traverse the Red Planet with futuristic tires. NASA 's Glenn Research Center released imagery and footage from testing of a novel tire, called a shape memory alloy spring tire, that would be capable of incurring significant deformation on rugged terrain, before springing back to its original shape.

An exploding budget and an unraveling schedule spell disappointment for NASA's mission to learn more about Mars's history.

The wheels of rovers wear out badly on Mars. NASA is testing new types of wheels made from a special alloy that are less susceptible to deformation.

NASA InSight’s seismic data uncovers the Martian dichotomy origins Findings suggest ancient tectonic activity shaped Mars’ hemispheres Seismic analysis points to internal planetary processes as a caus

NASA proposes a faster, cheaper plan to bring Mars samples to Earth, aiming for delivery by the 2030s while cutting costs significantly.

We have long been inspired by the idea that life could reside on Mars – human or otherwise. But fiction is getting closer to reality, says NASA’s former chief scientist, Jim Green. “NASA’s plan, in the long run,

Denmark has told Donald Trump in no uncertain terms what it thinks of his offer to acquire Greenland, but the USA will likely avoid expletives from Martian life when making good on another of its new President’s stated aims.

NASA has achieved a critical milestone in space exploration with the successful testing of advanced nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) reactor fuel at its Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). This breakthrough technology,
