NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and terrain data normally used by rover planners,

On November 13, NASA launched a new unmanned mission to Mars under the name ESCAPADE, short for Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers. The launch was met with fairly little fanfare in the press; unmanned Mars missions aren't exactly novel ...

NASA has lost contact with its MAVEN spacecraft that has been orbiting Mars for more than a decade. The orbiter, one of three zooming around Mars' atmosphere, had been working as expected before it suddenly ceased communications with ground stations ...

NASA’s roadmap to put humans on Mars hinges on new spacecraft, deep-space test missions, and breakthroughs in life support and propulsion. This video explains the three-phase plan, why the journey is so hard,

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence. Executed on Dec. 8 and 10, and led by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California,

What everyone agrees on is that NASA needs a new spacecraft capable of relaying communications from Mars to Earth. This issue has become especially acute with the recent loss of NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft. NASA’s best communications relay remains the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has now been there for 20 years.

NASA has quietly crossed a new frontier in human–machine collaboration, handing a critical piece of Mars navigation to a commercial chatbot. Instead of painstakingly plotting every twist of the Perseverance rover’s path by hand,
