New York: Think how it would be if we can enjoy a chilled beer on Mars? A US brewing company Anheuser-Busch plans make “Budweiser” the first brand of beer on the Red Planet. Budweiser is upholding its commitment, announced earlier this year at an event “South by Southwest” that “it would create a beer suitable […]
Washington: NASA will soon start testing a key energy source that will “empower” human crews on the Mars surface, energising habitats and running on-the-spot processing equipment to transform the Red Planet resources into oxygen, water and fuel. Testing of the Kilopower project is due to start in November and go through early next year, with […]
Washington: After orbitting the Red Planet for 16 years, NASA’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft has captured its first images of the Martian moon Phobos. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) camera on Mars Odyssey orbiter, launched in 2001, observed Phobos on September 29. Phobos has an oblong shape with an average diameter of about 22 kilometres. […]
New York: A solar event has sparked a global aurora at the Martian surface and caused the radiation level to double than highest ever recorded, NASA scientists have found. According to Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) Mission — a space probe developed by NASA designed to study the Martian atmosphere while orbiting Mars — a […]
New York: Six Nasa scientists, who were living in isolation on a Mars-like habitat in Hawaii since January to determine astronauts’ psychology and requirements during manned space missions, will return to civilization on Sunday. In January, the crew of four men and two women were quarantined on a vast plain below the summit of the […]
New Delhi: Four students from Delhi secured second and third positions in the US-based Mars Society’s international “Student Mars Art (SMArt) Contest 2017”, where they depicted a phase of humanity’s future on the planet Mars, from first landing to full settlement. The competition, announced in May, saw participation from over 140 students aged eight to […]
New York: NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) that completed 1,000 Earth days in orbit around the Red Planet on Saturday has come up with multiple discoveries, revealing how the Sun stripped Mars of most of its atmosphere. MAVEN is the first spacecraft dedicated to understanding Mars’ upper atmosphere and began its primary […]
Washington: Mars rover Opportunity has reached the main destination of its current two-year extended mission — an ancient fluid-carved valley incised on the inner slope of a vast crater’s rim, NASA has said. As the rover approached the upper end of “Perseverance Valley” in early May, images from its cameras began showing parts of the […]
Washington: NASA’s InSight lander has deployed its first instrument onto the surface of Mars, completing a major mission milestone that will allow scientists to peer into the Martian interior by studying ground motion — also known as marsquakes, the US space agency said. New images from the lander show the seismometer on the ground, its […]
Washington: Scientists have created a toaster oven-sized lab for a Mars rover that will drill beneath the surface of the red planet and look for signs of past or present life. The tiny chemistry lab called the Mars Organic Molecule Analyser (MOMA) is a key instrument on the ExoMars Rover, a joint mission between the […]
India on Wednesday made history by successfully placing its spacecraft in orbit around Mars, becoming the first country in the world to succeed in such an inter-planetary mission in the maiden attempt itself
Washington: Three Expedition 44 astronauts representing the US, Russia and Japan arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) yesterday to continue key research that advances NASA’s journey to Mars. The spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and docked at the space station after orbiting Earth four times, the US space agency said […]
Madrid: Rocks rich in silica similar to those in the oldest part of Earth’s continental crust are scattered throughout the area where NASA’s Curiosity probe is exploring on Mars, according to a study published on Monday in Nature Geo-science. The discovery comes amid growing evidence that, in the past, Mars may have been much more […]
In a clue to possibility of life below the surface of Mars today, an international team of researchers has discovered traces of methane in Martian meteorites
In what could be a perfect desktop or smartphone screensaver for millions on the Earth, NASA's Curiosity rover has recorded a stunning view of the sunset from its location in Gale Crater on the Red Planet
