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,

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 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.

The next logical progression to space exploration would be sending people to Mars, but there are challenges to this, such as space radiation.

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,

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

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,

Earlier this month, outgoing NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and other agency officials presented two possible plans for the mission, known as Mars Sample Return, for the incoming administration.

NASA unveils a groundbreaking approach to bring Martian rock samples back to Earth by 2026, introducing competition between two strategic plans to enhance cost-efficiency and spark innovation. These Martian samples could revolutionize our understanding of Mars and the wider universe,

Researchers at NASA Langley are developing a next-gen system called MARVL (Modular Assembled Radiators for Nuclear Electric Propulsion Vehicles) that aims to advance the feasibility of nuclear electric propulsion for space travel.

A new preprint study looking at data from NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) Lander has claimed to find evidence that Mars has a solid inner core, just like the Earth.
