The clean room floor in High Bay 1 at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is covered in parts and components for the Mars 2020 spacecraft.

All the pieces making up NASA's Mars Helicopter have been put to the test.

A new study reveals asteroid impacts on ancient Mars could have produced key ingredients for life if the Martian atmosphere was rich in hydrogen.

In January, Mars 2020 engineers and technicians took over JPL's cleanroom to put the mission's cruise, entry capsule, descent stage and rover through their paces.

Whether you're doing it for the nerd cred or the pie, this week on #10Things, we've got all the ways you can celebrate #PiDay with NASA.

NASA's Curiosity rover is busy making new discoveries on Mars.

NASA declared the record-setting rover's mission complete on Feb. 13, 2019, but the final image from the rover has just been processed.

Just as dust gathers in corners and along bookshelves in our homes, dust piles up in space too. But when the dust settles in the solar system, it’s often in rings.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine outlines plans to go to the Moon and then on to Mars.

We will go to the Moon in the next decade in a way we have never gone before. This time, when we go to the Moon, we will stay.

After the mission's heat probe began hammering last week, it appears to have hit a rock. The team is analyzing data before they hammer again.

Scientists have reproduced in the lab how the ingredients for life could have formed deep in the ocean 4 billion years ago. The results of the new study offer clues to how life started on Earth and where else in the cosmos we might find it.

Scientists have synthesized a molecular system that, like DNA, can store and transmit information. This suggests there could be a genetic system for life that may be possible on other worlds.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is in good health but takes a short break while engineers diagnose why it reset its computer.

By collecting data around the clock, NASA's lander will provide unique science about the Martian surface.

he lander's second instrument is on the ground. But its ‘mole’ — a burrowing probe — has a long way to go.

One of the most successful and enduring feats of interplanetary exploration, NASA's Opportunity rover mission is at an end after almost 15 years exploring the surface of Mars

NASA will discuss the status of its Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity in a media briefing at 2 p.m. EST (11 a.m. PST) Wednesday, Feb. 13.

a new 360-video lets the public visit Curiosity's final drill site on Vera Rubin ridge, an area nicknamed "Rock Hall."

The first CubeSat mission to deep space may have reached their limit, but they could inspire future NASA missions.

NASA's InSight lander has been making adjustments to its seismometer. Now it's reached another milestone by placing a domed shield over the seismometer to help the instrument collect accurate data.

Smartphone-like sensors on the NASA rover were used to calculate the density of Mount Sharp, offering new clues to its formation.

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have begun transmitting a new set of commands to the Opportunity rover in an attempt to compel the 15-year-old Martian explorer to contact Earth.

The rover landed in a region of the Red Planet called Meridiani Planum 15 years ago today, on Jan. 24, 2004.

In deploying its first instrument onto the surface of Mars, the lander completes a major mission milestone.
