Perseverance Mars rover

The Mars helicopter Ingenuity took to the skies on Saturday (Aug. 20) for the first time in more than two months, acing a short hop that was its 30th overall Red Planet sortie.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is heading back to an enchanting outcrop of sedimentary rocks the spacecraft first visited back in April.

Perseverance Mars rover is gathering up samples of Martian rock and soil that could help tease out an answer concerning past life on Mars.

As the Mars rover traverses the planet, it's come across pieces of its entry, landing, and descent hardware.

NASA's car-sized Perseverance Mars rover drilled out and sealed up its 12th rock sample on Wednesday (Aug. 3), its fourth such operation in less than a month.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover bagged its 11th sample on Mars, targeting a sedimentary rock that may preserve "biosignatures" of ancient life on the Red Planet.

The redesigned NASA-European campaign will task the Perseverance rover with delivering Red Planet samples to a rocket, with the drones as backup retrieval options.

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have new details to share on how they will bring pieces of Mars to Earth, and they'll share their plans next week.

NASA's Mars Ingenuity helicopter is taking a break during the dust-filled Martian winter that makes it difficult for the helicopter to charge its batteries.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has collected its 10th sample as it continues searching for the most promising rocks that might harbor traces of life for a future mission to return to Earth.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is scouting for landing sites that could be used by spacecraft that will fly the rover's many Martian samples back to Earth.

NASA's Perseverance rover has snagged its ninth sample from the Martian surface, collecting material that was once part of an ancient river delta.

The 10-foot-tall (3 meters) Mars Ascent Vehicle will blast rock, sediment and atmospheric samples off Mars in the early 2030s, in the first-ever rocket launch from the surface of another planet.

The Perseverance team says the rover can still take key weather measurements after pebbles struck a wind sensor amid strong Red Planet gusts.

NASA's Perseverance rover is on the hunt for the "goldilocks" of rocks to sample on Mars.

NASA's Perseverance rover just snapped a photo of a shiny silver object wedged between two Martian rocks. It's part of a thermal blanket that the robot carried with it to the Red Planet.

On Sunday (June 12), the car-sized Perseverance Mars rover snapped a photo that could be mistaken for a still from an "Indiana Jones" movie.

NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars has picked up a "pet rock" hitchhiker that has held on for months.

Ingenuity's handlers are preparing the little chopper for operation in the bitter cold of Martian winter, as nighttime temperatures have begun to drop below its design parameters.
