The rocket launched on Friday carried the Advanced Supersonic Parachute Inflation Research Experiment (ASPIRE) from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
The challenge asks individuals, teams and organisations to design and develop technology that has the potential to be useful on Mars and on Earth.
A major dust storm deprived the rover of solar power. Now, the storm is fading.
Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun approached 57.6 kilometres from the Earth, the closest it has been since 2003
The July 27 blood moon is likely to last beyond 100 minutes and is expected to cast a larger shadow over the Earth than previously recorded moons.
NASA said that its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had captured a photo on January 24, 2018 which showed the accumulation of crescent-shaped sand dunes.
The Martian dust storm has grown in size and is now officially a "planet-encircling" (or "global") dust event, according to Bruce Cantor of Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego.
Star gazers could have a good view of the Red Planet next month as Mars is set to come to the closest point to Earth since 2003 when it reaches opposition with the Sun in late July.
The storm was first detected on May 30 and grew worse in recent days.
NASA has not yet provided clues on what the new results are about, but it said that during the event, NASA scientists will have chats with the the public and media on the findings, public can send questions on social media.
Gwynne Shotwell further noted that the Boring Company could actually be how we house people on Mars, adding Tesla’s expertise in battery technology had already found a home inside SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft.
NASA will launch its InSight Mission on May 5, the first-ever mission to study the structure of Mars.
In early 2017 scientists announced the discovery of possible desiccation cracks in Gale Crater, which was filled by lakes 3.5 billion years ago.
The first interplanetary launch will take place from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on May 5 with the Mars-bound InSight lander.
The objective of the mission is to study the deep interior of the Red Planet and find traces of how it was formed.
Pictures from the mountainous regions of Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria and Romania give a glimpse of Mars.
SaU008 will be the first Martian meteorite to have a fragment return to the planet’s surface.
As per a report, the satellite will be launched from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket between 8 to 10 pm.
The US space agency hopes that such research will help it understand, prevent, diagnose, treat, mitigate and cure the potential health effects of prolonged spaceflight.
SpaceX has released pictures of a Tesla Roadster sports car mounted on a large cone inside the Falcon Heavy – the world’s most powerful rocket – that will launch as soon as next month.
