NASA currently has two operational Mars rovers (Opportunity and Curiosity) and three functioning orbiters circling the Red Planet — Mars Odyssey, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and MAVEN (whose name is short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile "The Martian" at first centers on a mission to Mars. While a NASA crew explores the red planet, a violent storm forces them to abandon ship. In their haste to escape Mars, they leave a crew member behind. Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon), assumed to be Mars Curiosity Rover, powered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), had sent a postcard of Mount Sharp, showcasing the stunning mountainous landscape of the red planet. The compound image, which was pointing to the high parts of the Scientists have unearthed a glimpse of the red planet’s long-dead rivers, after using snapshots of Martian rocks to compute their life history. Researchers say pebbles discovered by the Mars Curiosity Rover were washed 50km along an ancient riverbed. The rover sees no examples of the types of sediments that are One tantalising consequence of all this is the possibility that the planet may once have featured a large body of water somewhere on its surface. This could have produced the atmospheric The Land Rover Defender is one of the most capable off-roaders on the planet and Land Rover has announced a new version of that Defender. This is a pint size version aimed at wooing drivers to Land Rover well before they can legally drive. More .

Indeed, the space agency's next Red planet rover, which is scheduled to blast off in 2020, will carry an instrument designed to exploit indigenous Martian resources. That instrument, called the Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE), is a technology The strata in the foreground dip towards the base of Mount Sharp, indicating a flow of water toward a basin that used to exist there Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS The Mars Curiosity Rover has found indications of ancient lakes on the red planet 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 This is just the latest discovery concerning the Red Planet’s past. Curiosity landed in Gale crater more than three years ago, in August of 2012. Since that time the one-ton rover has determined that water helped build sedimentary deposits in the region .
