Three billion years ago, however, the situation may have been much different. In 2012 the Mars Curiosity rover beamed images back to Earth containing some of the most concrete evidence that water once flowed in abundance on the planet. Small, remarkably Less than two weeks after confirming the existence of water on Mars, NASA announced on Thursday that the Curiosity rover proved that the Red Planet could have stored H2O in lakes and streams over extended periods of time billions of years ago. PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 8 (UPI) --Scientists running NASA's Mars rover Curiosity said Thursday new analysis of the data indicates ancient lakes once existed on the Red Planet, billions of years ago. Mars Science Laboratory mission researchers said the data The team working with NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover has found the best evidence to date that, billions of years ago, Mars once had lakes that lasted for extended periods of time. This is just the latest discovery concerning the We're closer than ever to exploring Mars. After The Mars Curiosity Rover discovered water on the Red Plant, NASA has been ramping up its efforts to send the first human to the planet. Now, the agency has released a new report that outlines the next steps This image released by NASA on February 7, 2013, taken by Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, shows a self-portrait of NASA’s Mars rover.

And more robotic Mars missions are on the way. NASA plans to launch a lander called InSight next year to probe the Red Planet's interior and a highly capable rover in 2020. The Mars 2020 rover will hunt for signs of past life and cache samples for future The dry, dusty crater that NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is exploring was once filled with a series of lakes that together may have lasted for millions of years, scientists at Jet Propulsion Laboratory say. The findings, published by the journal Science Many gravitated to the large “Mars Exploration” tent in JPL’s outdoor courtyard, where a full-scale model of the Curiosity rover currently cruising the surface of Mars some 140 million miles away was on display. The tent also featured rovers being NASA’s Curiosity rover sent back new info that all but confirms Mars was once covered in lakes and streams. This is exactly the information scientists set out to discover. A few years after Curiosity landed on the Martian planet’s surface, we now know .
