In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the ...

Organic compounds found in Mars rocks are too abundant to rule out the possibility of Martian life in the red planet’s history, NASA scientists say. In March of 2025, NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered ...

In 2025, scientists reported the discovery of long-chain organic molecules called alkanes in the ancient mudstones of Mars. Now, in a new study, a team led by Alexander Pavlov of NASA's Goddard Space ...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover has taken a drive around Mars that was entirely mapped out by Generative AI with no input from humans.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence.

NASA has set its sights on sending astronauts to Mars sooner than most people realize. The ambitious plans include preparing for crewed missions in the coming decades, with a focus on technology, ...

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a major first by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence rather than human operators. Credit: NASA. An AI just ...

The researchers' findings were based on seismic readings from NASA’s InSight lander on Mars. Scientists were able to identify 8 Martian quakes with strong enough seismic activity that allowed them to ...

During the demonstration, NASA engineers used vision-language models, or VLMs, to create waypoints on Mars for Perseverance.

NASA announced it found promising potential biosignatures on Mars. Potential biosignatures are things like chemicals and structures that could be a result of life on the planet, but more research was ...
