that “liquid water flows intermittently” across multiple spots on the surface of today’s Mars, scientists leading NASA’s Curiosity rover mission have confirmed that an ancient lake once filled the Gale Crater site which the robot has been “Observations from the rover suggest that a series of long-lived streams and is constantly being put to the test,” said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. Attendance for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Open House in La including “Scarecrow,” which is used to test how Mars’ terrain affects rover wheels. This was the first open house for engineer CJ Giovingo, who stood in one corner of the tent It adds to evidence that many of the features on the Red Planet were cut by flowing water. When NASA's space probe, the Curiosity rover, beamed images back to Earth of the small, perfectly rounded and smooth pebbles three years ago it was some of the most Mars enthusiasts have something big to celebrate today. NASA's Curiosity rover has confirmed that the red planet was home to large lakes full of water approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The Curiosity rover is currently exploring the Gale Crater on Mars. Before humans ever set foot there, the US space agency and global partners plan a series of new robotic rovers, adding to those already sent by Nasa, including the Curiosity rover which touched down in 2012. Even that rover’s spectacular sky-crane .

Nasa’s Mars rover, Curiosity, has been exploring the Gale Crater on the planet since 2012 and found tantalising clues of possible life. In December it discovered 'burps' of methane, which Nasa scientists said could indicate “life or evidence of ancient Abrasion causes rocks to (Phys.org)—Observations by NASA's Curiosity Rover indicate Mars' Mount Sharp was built by sediments deposited in a large lake bed over tens of millions of years. (Phys.org)—A team of researchers from the U.S., France and "The thing that's absolutely remarkable is that we can make observations from space, send a rover there origin of rounded pebbles observed in sedimentary deposits by NASA's Curiosity rover near its Gale Crater landing site on a alluvial fan known For 17 years, NASA rovers have laid down tire tracks on Mars. But details the space agency divulged this week about its next Martian exploration vehicle underscored NASA's ultimate goal. Footprints are to follow someday. The last three rovers -- Spirit .
