Twenty-five years ago that little robot, a six-wheeled rover named Sojourner, made it — becoming the first in a string of rovers built and operated by NASA to explore Mars. Four more NASA rovers, each more capable and complex than the last, have surveyed the Red Planet. The one... Read more

ESA’s Terrae Novae exploration programme is leading Europe’s human journey into the Solar system using robots as precursors and scouts. Exploring space is about travelling farther and coming back with new experiences and knowledge to help us on Earth. Humankind will benefit from the new discoveries, ambitions, science, inspiration,... Read more

Easter on MarsThe crew woke up earlier than usual so that they could conduct an extra vehicular activity a bit far away from our habitat. They watched the sunrise from the main window of the hab while enjoying our breakfast and a nice Italian coffee before exiting the station. The... Read more

A visitor on Mars The MDRS received a visitor who interviewed the crew members and accompanied them in their daily tasks. Some cargo was received from Earth, with additional sensors and equipment for EVA. #smops #marsplanet #mdrs #spaceflight #research #spaceexploration #outerspace #science #astronomer #spacetravel #astronomy #astronauts #spacecraft #spaceindustry #planets...
