The Mars Sample Recovery Helicopters are a pair of robotic unmanned helicopters being developed by the engineers of the American company AeroVironment Inc. and proposed in March 2022 as a means of delivering Martian soil samples from the sample depots made by the Perseverance rover to the location of the Sample Retrieval Lander (SRL) that will load these samples onto the Mars Ascent Vehicle ...
JPL and the Space Age was created in 2022 [2] to inform users about JPLs contributions and missions. JPL and the Space Age started airing on NASA TV and JPLs website. The first episode released for the franchise was The American Rocketeer, releasing in January of 2022. [3] The series later migrated to NASA+ in November 2023. [4]

“To put it really bluntly, JPL is our Mars center in NASA science,” said Nicky Fox, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate. “They are the people who landed us on Mars ...
The days are numbered for NASA's InSight lander on Mars. That also spells the end for ForeSight, its doppelganger at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. As NASA's Mars InSight mission comes to an end ...
In the summer of 2001, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) requested mission concepts and proposals from industry-led teams (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and TRW). [17] The science requirements included at least 500 grams (18 oz) of samples, rover mobility to obtain samples at least 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the landing spot, and drilling to obtain one sample from a depth of 2 metres (6 ft 7 in).
With a final 2024 budget for NASA in place, the space agency has directed JPL not to cut any more staff working on the Mars Sample Return mission.
NASA continued the mission of the Juno spacecraft at Jupiter by conducting a flyby of Europa on 29 September 2022. [1]In Mars exploration, the European Space Agency (ESA) had partnered with Roscosmos to launch the Rosalind Franklin rover using the Kazachok lander as part of ExoMars 2022. [2]
