Explore how ESCAPADE aims to uncover Mars' secrets and ensure safe astronaut missions with new insights into the planet's transformation and solar interactions.
NASA agreed to rebook the Escapade satellites on NG-2 after managers with the principal investigator-led science mission devised a so-called “launch and loiter” strategy that would free Blue Origin from having to meet a narrow planetary launch window.
Cemented dunes in Gale Crater reveal evidence of late-stage water that may have preserved organic signals beneath the Martian surface.
One of the great unsolved problems in modern planetary science is written on the surface of Mars. Mars has canyons that were carved by rivers, so it was once warm enough for liquid water. How—and why—did it become a barren desert today? A study led by ...
Mars' single-plate surface, unlike Earth's active plate tectonics, allows for preservation of its mantle's early internal history, providing insights into rocky planet formation and evolution. Analysis of seismic data from the InSight lander revealed ...
