The European Space Agency (ESA) wants to develop key technologies for a Mars surface lander by the mid-2030s.

New research reveals ancient ripples on Mars, providing compelling evidence of long-lost lakes that once existed 3.7 billion years ago.

The next Mars rovers may traverse the Red Planet with futuristic tires. NASA 's Glenn Research Center released imagery and footage from testing of a novel tire, called a shape memory alloy spring tire, that would be capable of incurring significant deformation on rugged terrain, before springing back to its original shape.

Any vehicle traversing the rocky terrain on Mars needs a sturdy set of wheels. NASA’s Perseverance rover, for example, sports thick aluminum ones covered in cleats to enhance its traction and mobility.

The new work suggests that the edge of the dichotomy was eroded back by hundreds of kilometers during the time when an ocean might have occupied Mars' northern hemisphere. To view the Martian dichotomy,

Thousands of mounds and hills in Mars' barren northern plains are full of clay minerals, providing evidence that the rocks here were once soaked with water, a new study reveals. These mounds are all that is left of a landscape,

Trump was sworn in as the 47th president Monday, promising a “revolution of common sense."
