Curiosity Probe

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover, set for lift off this Thursday, is the space agency’s most advanced Martian probe yet. Its super-sanitised sample return tubes — for rocks that could hold evidence of past Martian life — are the cleanest items ever bound for space.

In the 15 years since a European probe reported traces of the gas in the Martian atmosphere, debate has raged over the accuracy of the readings showing methane.

Nasa is inviting university and college students to be part of the its "Breakthrough, Innovative, and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge.

Rocks rich in silica similar to those in the oldest part of Earth's continental crust are scattered throughout the area where NASA's Curiosity probe is exploring on Mars, according to a study published on Monday in Nature Geoscience.

The rover is currently investigating an outcrop called Pahrump Hills at its destination mountain "Mount Sharp".

The US Space Agency has directed its Mars rover Curiosity to probe mysterious rocks on the red planet.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took a 16-minute drive on Wednesday, its first since it reached the Red Planet, to search for habitats that could have supported microbial life. The $2.5-billion, two-year mission, NASA's first astrobiology initiative since the 1970s-era Viking probes, kicked off on August 6, with a risky, but successful landing on at a ...
