Measuring the fuel supply on Odyssey, a decades-old spacecraft without a fuel gauge, is no easy task.
Since NASA launched the 2001 Mars Odyssey Orbiter to the Red Planet almost 22 years ago, the spacecraft has looped around Mars more...
The veteran rover captured a dazzling sunset at the start of a new cloud-imaging campaign.
Martian sunsets are uniquely moody, but NASA’s Curiosity rover captured one last month that stands out. As the Sun descended over the horizon on Feb....
Striking rock formations documented by the rover provide evidence of a drying climate in the Red Planet’s ancient past.
For the past year, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has been traveling through a transition zone from a clay-rich region to one...
Despite signs of wear, the intrepid spacecraft is about to start an exciting new chapter of its mission as it climbs a Martian mountain.
Ten years ago today, a jetpack lowered NASA’s Curiosity rover onto the Red Planet, beginning...
