Subsurface Radar Sounding of the South Polar Layered Deposits of Mars, Science Express The Marsis low frequency radar has been designed so that its signals penetrate into the Martian sub-soil.

Two Mars orbiter missions – one from NASA, the other from the European Space Agency (ESA) – will open new vistas in the exploration of Mars through the use of sophisticated ground-penetrating radars, ...

A rare glimpse into the wintry conditions of the Mars north polar vortex has shown that temperatures inside the vortex are far colder than outside, and that the permanent darkness that winter brings ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have detected what appears to be a hidden ocean beneath Mars’ northern pole. This revelation, derived from recent data and advanced radar technology, offers ...

(Adds quotes, details throughout) By Irene Klotz PASADENA, Calif., May 25 (Reuters) - A small science probe blazed through the salmon-colored skies of Mars on Sunday, touching down on a frozen desert ...

It’s difficult to imagine the amount of advanced planning required for an interstellar mission. Before the crew of The Ark (streaming now on Peacock) could set out for parts unknown, they would first ...

The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it’s telling us something about what the planet’s ...

A 2018 study published in Science presented how radar data from the Mars Express spacecraft showed evidence that a lake of liquid water existed beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars. However, a ...

Mars’ north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a dramatic rise in ozone. Scientists found that the lack of sunlight and moisture ...

Mars exploration has taken a leap forward with the unveiling of the Subsurface Water Ice Mapping (SWIM) project's fourth and most detailed map of potential subsurface water ice locations on the Red ...

A schematic of temperature measurements shows how it is 40 degrees Celsius colder inside the north polar vortex (indicated by the yellow line) compared to outside the vortex. A rare glimpse into the ...
