Rover Results on Mars | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover the instruments that Curiosity, a rover on Mars, used to gather and analyze soil samples in this video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In 2012, Curiosity took its first scoop of Martian soil to test and analyze from an area called Rocknest. One of the project scientists describes how

Perseverance Mars Rover & the Search for Ancient Life

Millions of miles from Earth lies a dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. You know this planet as Mars…but it hasn’t always been this way. There’s evidence that the Red Planet was much wetter and warmer, with a thicker atmosphere, billions of years ago. Could it also have supported

Curiosity Rover Hits Paydirt on Mars | NASA Planetary Sciences

Learn about the discovery of conditions that would have been suitable for life on ancient Mars. In 2013, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) science team released initial findings from its first drilled sample using the Curiosity rover. MSL scientist Joel Hurowitz describes the sedimentary rock sample

What If We Nuked Mars?

What if we nuked mars? I know it seems like a question from far out of left field, but Elon Musk, head of Tesla as well as SpaceX, said in 2015 that nuking mars with thermonuclear weapons would be a great way to heat up the planet so humans could live on it. But would this actually work? And what ar

Wind and Radiation on Mars | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover how and why Curiosity, the Mars rover, measures wind and radiation on Mars. Mars Science Laboratory scientist Ashwin Vasavada describes two of the instruments onboard the rover that study Mars' present environment. The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) measures high-energy radiation from

Mars Streambed | NASA Planetary Sciences

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist Sanjeev Gupta uses images captured by Curiosity rover to explain the significance of pebbles found on Mars. Gupta describes the ground-layer composition at three outcrops near the rover's landing site that contain rounded pebbles. Because rounded pebbles on E
