Next phase reached in definition of Mars Sample Return mission
ESA has taken a further step in preparing for participation in Mars Sample Return (MSR), the landmark mission to return samples from the Red Planet, with the announcement of the next phase of industrial activity. view more (2006-04-07)
Antarctic research helps shed light on climate change on Mars
Researchers examining images of gullies on the flanks of craters on Mars say they formed as recently as a few hundred thousand years ago and in sites once occupied by glaciers. The features are eerily reminiscent of gullies formed in Antarctica's mars-like McMurdo Dry Valleys. view more (2008-08-29)
The origin of perennial water-ice at the South Pole of Mars
Thanks to data from ESA's Mars Express mission, combined with models of the Martian climate, scientists can now suggest how the orbit of Mars around the Sun affects the deposition of water ice at the Martian South Pole. view more (2007-07-16)
New evidence points to oceans on Mars
Scientists have found new evidence to support the presence of large oceans on Mars in the past. view more (2007-06-14)
How Martian winds make rocks walk
Rocks on Mars are on the move, rolling into the wind and forming organized patterns, according to new research. view more (2009-01-09)
CRISM Has Key Role in Selecting Next Mars Rover Landing Site
Scientists scouting potential landing sites for NASA's next Mars rover mission are using new data from a powerful mineral-mapping camera to narrow the site selection. view more (2007-10-22)
Features of early Martian environment and presence of water drive search for life forms
olar energy and winds, collisions with asteroids and comets, and changing magnetic fields have all altered the environment of Mars, a planet that may have been able to support life during its history. view more (2009-04-17)
Mars Exploration And The Search For Life Is A Priority, Says UK Science Minister
The latest attempts to communicate with Beagle 2 via the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank and the Mars Odyssey spacecraft have been unsuccessful. However, the Beagle 2 team has not given up hope and continues to be optimistic that efforts to contact the lander will eventually be successful. This message was also reinforced by Lord Sainsbury, UK... view more... (2003-12-29)
Martian Snow Source of Tropical Glaciers, Research Team Reports
Snow is the source of glacial deposits found at the base of the majestic volcanoes and mountains dotting the mid-latitude and tropical regions of Mars. view more (2006-01-20)
Two other Mars missions heating up
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, providing international researchers with the first direct clues about the Red Planet's subsurface structure. view more (2006-03-07)
Mars, methane and mysteries
Mars may not be as dormant as scientists once thought. The 2004 discovery of methane means that either there is life on Mars, or that volcanic activity continues to generate heat below the martian surface. view more (2009-08-10)
ESA's first step towards Mars Sample Return
What is the next best thing to humans landing on Mars and exploring the wonders of the Red Planet? The answer: touching, imaging and analysing carefully preserved samples of Martian rock in a state-of-the-art laboratory on Earth. If all goes according to plan, this is exactly what ESA's long-term Aurora programme of Solar System exploration will... view more... (2003-11-12)
Strengthening case for life on Mars - CMD19CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When it was announced last month that the Mars Odyssey satellite had found water ice beneath the planet`s frozen carbon dioxide south polar ice cap, "I felt excited!" says Dr Lidija Siller, a physicist from the University of Newcastle. "I believe that the data I have explains how this water became trapped underneath the surface". Dr Siller will be... view more... (2002-03-26)
Space and daily life...in 45 years
From 4 to 10 October 2002, the Education Office of the European Space Agency (ESA) will celebrate World Space Week by giving young Europeans the chance to tell the world their ideas on what daily life on Mars might be like 45 years from now. view more (2002-07-01)
Aurora Space Exploration Programme's proposal mulls take off in May
Scientists working with the European Science Foundation (ESF) are putting the finishing touches to an ambitious programme of research for the exploration of the Moon and Mars. They expect to publish their proposals in May. view more (2007-04-05)
Laser cancer treatment and Martian imaging
Can laser light be used to treat cancer patients? Why is the search for Martian water so important? These questions may appear to be unconnected, but they actually have more in common than you might think. Both subjects will be tackled at free public talks held at Cardiff International Arena on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 September. The talks show... view more... (2002-08-21)
