After students frame a research question, they help direct the Mars Odyssey to take images that will answer their question. In June, 2010, seventh grade science students at Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood, California helped researchers discover a new series of lava tubes, including one with a pit crater. The students were looking for the ...
[2] [3] In June, 2010, a group of seventh grade science students at Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood, California, participating in the Mars Student Imaging Project, helped researchers discover a new series of lava tubes near Pavonis Mons through identification of a skylight estimated to be 190×160 meters wide and at least 115 meters deep.

The silica discovery is still one of the most important findings by the Spirit rover, which operated on Mars from 2004 to 2011. And Vasavada says it’s what inspired the team to “look behind ...
Scientists have wanted to find out which of these processes created grey hematite on Mars since 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor spotted large concentrations of the mineral near the planet's equator (seen in the right picture). This discovery provided the first mineral evidence that Mars' history may have included water.
In its ancient past, Mars likely contained many of the necessarily ingredients for microbial life to flourish on its surface. Now, a new discovery by NASA’s Perseverance rover shows a trifecta ...
Finding water on Mars isn't itself a new discovery; the planet's polar regions are full of ice. But the new research paves the way for future study into Mars' habitability and the search for life ...
Perseverance [2] is a car-sized Mars rover designed to explore the Jezero crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched on July 30, 2020, at 11:50 UTC. [3]
Mars 1962A was a Mars flyby mission, launched on October 24, 1962, and Mars 1962B an intended first Mars lander mission, launched in late December of the same year (1962). Both failed from either breaking up as they were going into Earth orbit or having the upper stage explode in orbit during the burn to put the spacecraft into trans-Mars ...
