NASA deactivated its InSight lander in December, but its seismometer data will be studied for decades. Scientists have discovered that Mars‘ liquid iron core is thinner and denser than previously believed by analyzing seismic waves the device picked up during two temblors in 2021. A report published on April 24 in the Proceedings of the […]
NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston has unveiled a virtual Mars habitat where four non-astronaut volunteers will spend a year preparing for human missions. The 160-square-meter habitat simulates Martian environmental constraints and allows the crew to work with limited resources, be isolated, and experience equipment failures. Volunteers will do simulated spacewalks, robotics, exercise, habitat care, […]
NASA’s CHAPEA Project is an exciting development that will help pave the way for human exploration of Mars. The objective of the CHAPEA project is to create a simulation of a Mars habitat that can sustain long-duration space missions. To accomplish this, NASA has partnered with ICON Technology, Inc. to create a 3D-printed habitat called […]

The 52nd flight of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was a success. This is now written in the mission record. The breakout happened on April 26, but mission controllers at NASA’s […]
The scientific community recently found a new planet called TOI-733b. It is situated 245 light-years away from Earth. It’s a bit smaller than Earth but has a unique feature – its atmosphere. Lost Atmosphere & Oceanic World: Experts have two possible explanations for this planet. First, it might have lost its atmosphere, or second, it […]
Zhurong rover was on the project to explore once existed components on the surface of Mars. It was launched on the planet by China to observe certain aspects of the planet. For how long the Zhurong rover project is working on Mars? The Zhurong rover has been working on the surface of Mars since May […]
