Mars Exploration refers to the scientific investigation and study of the planet Mars, conducted through various means such as robotic spacecraft, landers, and rovers. This exploration aims to gather data about Mars’s atmosphere, surface geology, climate, and potential for past or present life. It includes numerous missions by space agencies, particularly NASA, which has sent a series of orbiters, landers, and rovers since the 1960s. Notable missions include the Mars Rover missions, like Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance, as well as orbiters like Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and MAVEN. Mars Exploration encompasses both the search for signs of water and habitability and the preparation for future human exploration.
A newly discovered subterranean reservoir on Mars reveals hidden water deep within the planet’s rocky outer crust. The Mars Insight Lander, equipped with a seismometer, detected vibrations for four years, shedding light on the presence of liquid water. Analyzed seismic data unveiled signs indicating the existence of liquid water, a groundbreaking finding as previous discoveries […]

A vast reservoir of liquid water lies hidden beneath the surface of Mars, trapped within cracks of igneous rocks about 11-20 kilometers below the barren terrain. This discovery opens up the possibility of microbial life surviving at such depths, as indicated by recent seismic data analysis. Previous Mars conditions allowed for rivers, lakes, and seas […]
