Mars has a lot of water ice, both on the surface and underground. But most of the surface ice is at the planet’s poles. So buried subsurface ice in other places across the planet will someday be an ...

Mars has hosted a surprising number of robotic visitors, yet the question of where humans should touch down remains wide open. As engineers refine maps of potential Mars landing sites, one location ...

Detailed imaging of the surface of Mars from orbit has allowed space scientists to produce the most detailed geological map yet of part of the Red Planet. The new map was released on Friday, 12 ...

When NASA’s Perseverance rover lands on Mars next year, it will be equipped with some of the most precise maps of Mars ever created, courtesy of the USGS Astrogeology Science Center. Not only are the ...

What new methods can be developed to identify water ice deposits on Mars? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers led by the ...

A new map of Mars is changing the way we think about the planet’s watery past, and showing where we should land in the future. The map shows mineral deposits across the planet and has been ...

China plans to complete a full geological map of Mars by the end of 2028, creating what researchers describe as the first AI-driven survey of the planet’s entire surface, according to SCMP. The ...

One of the challenges of sending human explorers to Mars is that, due to the logistics of the journey, they will have to be on the planet’s surface for considerably longer than the missions of a few ...

There is now little doubt we humans will eventually get to Mars. It seems that, somehow, humanity has always known that. Yet only in recent years we got to see not only talk of Mars missions ...

A team of European scientists have published the most detailed geological map of Oxia Planum—the landing site for ESA's Rosalind Franklin rover on Mars. This thorough look at the geography and ...

Humans haven’t set foot on Mars — yet — but we’ve already got the maps drawn up. A new map released earlier this month shows the Red Planet in all its dusty glory. The map was created with real photos ...
