The recent United States government's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that was recently signed into law has good news for the future of crewed spaceflight — but at the same time, Trump's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year nearly annihilates NASA science missions.

The more scientists study the Red Planet, the more they find unusual objects and patterns scattered across Mars' surface. As one of Earth's closest neighbors in space, Mars has long captivated humans with the prospect of alien life located just a short rocket trip away.

A host of scientific investigations await the crew of NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 mission during their long-duration expedition aboard the International Space Station. NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke,

Mariner 4, built by JPL in Pasadena, took the images on July 14, 1965. One of the mission's leaders reflects on decades of studying the Red Planet.

NASA and USGS are mapping critical minerals in the American West using airborne sensors to help reduce U.S. reliance on imported resources.

NASA’s Opportunity rover became one of the most successful interplanetary missions in human history. However, that incredible journey came to a dramatic end in 2019 after 15 years of record-breaking work on Mars.

Sixty years ago today, NASA’s Mariner 4 spacecraft took the first up-close images of Mars, changing humanity's understanding of the Red Planet. The spacecraft was designed and built by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

THE famously desolate Mars landscape could be scattered with trees to the untrained eye, according to a recently shared Nasa image. However, the US space agency was quick to explain otherwise.

For years, satellites around Mars have been finding mysterious, spider-like geological structures. Mars spiders, scientifically known as araneiform terrain, are unique geological formations predominantly found in the southern hemisphere of Mars.
