NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered powerful new evidence that Mars’ Jezero Crater once hosted multiple rounds of flowing water, each creating conditions that could have supported life.

NASA's first multiple-satellite mission to another planet will map Mars' magnetic field and atmosphere in 3D, laying the groundwork for human exploration.

When NASA prepared to land a rover on Mars, engineers turned to a design that looked more like a toy than a spacecraft. Instead of heavy thrusters, the rover was surrounded by giant airbags designed to absorb the impact.

With "one of the coolest jobs in the world", NASA rover operator Vandi Verma hopes women's high profile in the latest Mars mission will inspire a new generation to pursue careers in a sector traditionally dominated by men.

Learn about past and upcoming Mars missions, NASA's role in Mars exploration, and the future of human space travel, including technological innovations and challenges.

You’ve probably heard the old metaphor about the impossibility of reinventing the wheel, but NASA found themselves in the position of having to do just that — literally reinventing the wheels on their Mars rover to withstand the planet’s harsh terrain.
