Our SpaceX Crew-6 mission safely returns to Earth, the tech demo hitching a ride on our Psyche spacecraft, and studying ancient life on Earth to better understand Mars … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!

The Nasa rover called ‘Curiosity’ has finally arrived at Gale Crater on planet Mars after a 154 million miles journey, hurtling towards the Mars at over 13,000 mph. The main aim of Curiosity is to see whether the environment of Mars once held the ingredients of life and so Curiosity will drill into

This artist's concept animation depicts key events of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, which launched November 26, 2011 and it is schedule to land in Mars on August 6, 2012.

Mars is a cold and barren desert today, but scientists think that in the ancient past it was warm and wet. The loss of the early Martian atmosphere may have led to this dramatic change, and one of the prime suspects is the solar wind. Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global magnetic field to deflect the s

The United Arab Emirates is planning an enormous colony on Mars, but first they are building the biggest Mars simulator right here on earth.

Another giant leap towards a mission to Mars: expendable structures could be the next extraterrestrial breakthrough, as they weight less to launch and are more compact on the rocket. On arrival, they can be inflated to provide safe and sustainable living quarters, work spaces and laboratories for pe...

On the 26th of November 2011, the Mars Science Laboratory was launched from Cape Canaveral. This time lapse sequence shows a plume drifting against the background stars, probably caused by venting from the Centaur rocket after it carried out a burn over the Indian Ocean.

Benefits of space surround us. Exploration fuels innovation. Groundbreaking technologies we develop to explore space keep us close and safe right here at home.

The Artemis missions will build a community on the Moon, driving a new lunar economy and inspiring a new generation. Narrator Drew Barrymore and NASA team members explain why returning to the Moon is the natural next step in human exploration, and how the lessons learned from Artemis will pave the w
