A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have some exciting ideas about the future of digital mapping for space exploration. They completed a paper titled ...

Billions of years ago, it rained on Mars. The water collected in valleys and rivers, filled and spilled over the rims of craters, and was funneled into canyons, perhaps even making its way to a large ...

(CNN) — By tracking the gravitational pull on spacecraft over Mars, NASA has created one of the most detailed maps yet of the Red Planet’s surface, and what lies beneath. “Gravity maps allow us to see ...

NASA’s ESCAPADE is the first UC Berkeley-led planetary mission. Its two identical satellites will provide an unprecedented stereo view of Mars’ magnetosphere. Mapping the ionosphere and space ...
