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 on the Opportunity Rover on Mars as the Chair of the Science Operations Working Group of the Nasa Mars Exploration rover mission. Recently in Pune to deliver a lecture at the Nasscom Engineering Summit 2015 to explain the technology that enabled NASA When scientists first saw it in images returned from Nasa's Curiosity rover on Mars, they really weren't sure what a senior scientist on the mission. Much of what is in the Science paper was first discussed last December in a mission-team If all goes according to plan, the world’s first private lunar mission will be launched just two years from now. SpaceIL, an Israeli nonprofit, has secured a launch contract with California-based Spaceflight Industries, and will aim to land a rover on NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech, built the rover and manages the project for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The onboard laboratories in the rover namely the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) and Chemistry and Mineralogy X-Ray diffractometer (CheMin), which study the components of Martian rocks, will also be embarking on a new mission. Dubbed as the "Big Sky," a .

Early in its mission, Curiosity discovered the gravel remnants of streams but we hadn't grasped just how big it was," Grotzinger said. (NASA Curiosity Rover Facebook page) Water from north of the crater regularly filled the basin, creating long-lasting Three years after landing in a giant Martian crater, Nasa's Curiosity rover has found what scientists call proof mound of sediment standing on the crater floor. Early in its mission, Curiosity discovered the gravel remnants of streams and deposits The team has signed a contract with California-based Spaceflight Industries which will enable them to launch their rover aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher, according to Gizmodo and NBC News. They are among the first XPrize teams to secure such a contract If SpaceIL’s mission is successful, they will pioneer not only Israel The spacecraft will use a hopping technology, rather than a typical rover, to help the craft maneuver on the moon. “This takes us one huge step closer to realize our vision .
