While all watched the last landing of the device on Mars by NASA, in parallel with this there was another important event. Two tiny cube satellites “CABSAT” (CubeSat) — traveled with InSight, sending data to the Ground coming from the probe. No one has ever sent these tiny moons this far before. Could this mission […]

Mars Rover “Curiosity” found on Mars unusual shiny object
Unusual smooth and reflecting Martian pebble attracted the attention of NASA scientists, after which they decided to distract the Rover “Curiosity” from his Affairs. While the InSight probe was landing on Mars this week, Curiosity was quietly and peacefully exploring the Red planet, exploring a unique stretch of gray rock at the Highfield outcrop. “Curiosity” […]
The Insight module deployed solar panels and sent a new photo of the surface of Mars
The official page of the InSight mission on NASA’s website reports that the new research module, which sat on the Red planet yesterday, transmitted a message to Earth about the successful disclosure of its solar panels and began to collect energy. The signal from the module to Earth was retransmitted by the NASA Mars Odyssey […]
InSight Probe successfully set down on the surface of Mars (Photo)
This photo was taken by the InSight probe after a successful landing on the surface of Mars. Mission operators at NASA’s jet propulsion Laboratory received a signal from the InSight lander that it had landed on the surface of Mars. In the coming hours, engineers will clarify how the spacecraft feels. So far, we can […]
Elon Musk will move to Mars. And possibly die
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that “the chance that he will move to Mars, 70%”, despite the “fair chance” that he will not survive this. This became known from the interview-the review can be found here. “Recently, we made a number of breakthroughs, and I really caught fire,” said Musk. “I’m talking about moving there.” […]
“not only rich people can live on Mars” – Elon Musk
The issue with the colonization of Mars every year becomes more urgent, so in the interested environment begin to arise the expected conversations about the availability of a ticket to the Red planet: they say such a “pleasure” will be able to pay only the richest inhabitants of the Earth, and ordinary people as always […]
InSight has almost reached Mars. What will he tell you about the red planet?
“Earth and Mars are formed from very similar materials,” says Bruce Banerdt, chief investigator for InSight at NASA’s jet propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, which leads the NASA InSight mission. “Why did the planets become so different in the end? Our measurements will help us to turn the clock hand and understand what led to […]
If the orbital glitch is confirmed, liquid water on Mars may not be
Some signs of water on Mars have just dried up. Due to how processed the data of the spacecraft NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, he could see the signs of hydrated salts which in fact was not. About this scientists wrote the other day in Geophysical Research Letters. And the absence of these salts may mean […]
A famous scientist spoke sharply about the idea of terraforming Mars
Talk about the possibility of terraforming Mars going for a long time. We all understand that now humanity has no technologies that could not afford it. Nevertheless, in the scientific and near-scientific environment there are people who are convinced that such technologies can appear in the future. There are, of course, those who consider this […]
Genetically modified bacteria can produce oxygen on Mars
Despite the fact that before the start of the first mission to Mars is still far away, while we can only dream about the colonization of the Red Planet, scientists are already developing various options for equipping the fourth planet from the Sun. The main problem with the colonization of Mars is the lack of […]
