Mars Probe Mission

Moon Missions: Japan, whose unmanned "sniper" probe will attempt a lunar landing on Saturday, is one of many countries and private companies launching new missions to the Moon.

The polygon structures were discovered 35 metres underground using Chinese mission Zhurong's ground penetrating radar.

NASA has formally retired its Mars InSight lander, the first robotic probe specially designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, four years after it arrived on the surface of the red planet, the US space agency announced on Wednesday. Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles determined the mission ...

ISRO, the country's space agency, will team up with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for sending a lunar rover to explore the permanent shadow region of the moon, the space agency has announced. The success of the lunar rover on board Chandrayaan-3 was crucial as it would be used again in the mission with JAXA, according to ISRO.

India has lost contact with its Mars orbiter, eight years after the low-cost probe made it the first Asian nation with a spacecraft circling the red planet, its space agency said.

ISRO's Mars orbiter completed eight years in orbit around the Red Planet on Monday, as the space agency's interplanetary mission surpassed the planned lifespan of six months. The Indian space agency has organised a 'National Meet on Eight Years of India's Mars Orbiter Mission' mission at its headquarters on Tuesday, and Space Commission members K R...

NASA plans to deploy its Psyche probe to study the asteroid belt in August, an area between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where remains of the early solar system circle the Sun. The probe will orbit and analyse Psyche's surface for two years to find clues about how early planetary bodies originated. Months ahead of the upcoming mission, a grou...

NASA to launch a probe to the International Space Station (ISS) on June 10 that will monitor climate change on Earth. Named Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), this probe will study the composition of mineral dust from Earth's arid regions and how the desert dust carried through the atmosphere affects the planet.

NASA's InSight Mars lander captured a stunning view of a sunrise on the Red Planet, giving space enthusiasts an idea of what watching the run rise on Mars could look like. InSight is NASA's first mission to study the interior of Mars — its crust, mantle, and core — in depth and has completed its mission of spending one Martian year on the plane...

European Space Agency(ESA) has announced that it ended cooperation with Russia on three upcoming missions on the Moon due to the invasion of Ukraine. Previously, ESA had also ended cooperation on ExoMars Mars mission.

China's first independent interplanetary mission, Tianwen-1, pulled a new year's surprise by clicking incredible selfies on Mars above its north pole. The images showed the mission's solar arrays and antennas as well as a partial closeup of the orbiter.

The UAE's Hope probe sent back its first image of Mars, the national space agency said Sunday, days after the spacecraft successfully entered the Red Planet's orbit.

China's space agency CNSA released video footage from its Tianwen-1 spacecraft circling Mars, two days after it successfully entered the planet's orbit in Beijing's latest ambitious space mission.

China's space agency released video footage from its spacecraft circling Mars on Friday, two days after it successfully entered the planet's orbit in Beijing's latest ambitious space mission.

An uncrewed Chinese spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Mars after over six months of journey from Earth, China's space agency said, in the country's first independent mission to the planet.
