An example of an additional object from a spacecraft landing is the metal shroud ejected by the Viking 2 lander, as seen in this 1977 view of Mars. The shroud covered the surface sampler instrument and could be seen in images taken by the lander while it was active on the surface.
Images of the area from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had shown light-colored terrain but, the stones were too small for the spacecraft to see. The Curiosity team was therefore surprised by ...
Life on Mars? Probably not, but a photo that NASA recently published sparked the imagination of many. The image that came out a few weeks ago, started becoming popular on social media only today.
NASA has documented the diverse debris scattered by the 2021 landing of its high-tech Perseverance rover, including a strange-looking ball of tangled, "spaghetti"-like material, which the space ...
A dust devil captured by the Curiosity rover in 2020. Martian dust devils are convective atmospheric vortices that occur on the surface of Mars.They were discovered from data reported by NASA's Viking probes, and have been photographed by orbiting satellites and surface rovers in subsequent missions.
[4] [5] It was discovered by Efrain Palermo, who did extensive surveys of Martian probe imagery, and later confirmed by Lan Fleming, an imaging sub-contractor at NASA Johnson Space Center. [ 6 ] The general vicinity of the monolith is a proposed landing site by Optech and the Mars Institute , for a robotic mission to Phobos known as PRIME ...
While peering up at the hazy Martian sky, NASA's Perseverance rover recently spotted one of Mars' irregularly-shaped moons.The moon, Deimos, is relatively small at 7.5 miles wide, so it appears as ...
Using photos from Mars Global Surveyor and HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists have found about 20 new impacts each year on Mars. Because the spacecraft have been imaging Mars almost continuously for a span of 14 years, newer images with suspected recent craters can be compared to older images to determine when the ...
