The peer-reviewed findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on September 20. A full text version is also available from the 52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2021.
Mars once had a lot of water on its surface, as various missions to the planet have confirmed. There were rivers, lakes and maybe even an ocean. So what happened to them?
NASA wants to harvest water on moon and Mars, and students think they can help
As NASA looks for new technology to use in space, the agency is mining a different treasure to help develop those tools: the ingenuity of student engineers.
To that end, 10 student teams from universities around the country—including a team from Virginia Tech—gathered Friday at the Hampton Road Convention Center to share prototypes of remote-controlled drilling machines, during the "Moon to Mars Ice and Prospecting Challenge.
Musk's Mars plan, 5 years on: Video, bold specs, and a bizarre Q&A
At the 67th International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, the SpaceX CEO detailed the Interplanetary Transport System .
It was a fascinating outline of the future of space travel, complete with a baffling question-and-answer session.
Musk even teased his long-standing goal to terraform Mars . He said that, if warmed up, Mars could offer "a thick, thick atmosphere and liquid oceans."

Mars has dominated recent headlines as the newest generation of robotic explorers aims to uncover its secrets. But one day, robots won’t be the Red Planet’s only inhabitants. Human explorers will be next.
And whether we’re sending a small crew on a round trip or shuttling colonists with a one-way ticket, someday, somehow, someone will die on Mars. And because of the potentially prohibitive logistics and cost of transporting their body back home, it might very well need to stay there.
NASA's Perseverance Rover Cameras Capture Mars Like Never Before
Using its WATSON camera, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover took this selfie over a rock nicknamed "Rochette," on Sept.10, 2021, the 198th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Two holes can be seen where the rover used its robotic arm to drill rock core samples.
Scientists tap into an array of imagers aboard the six-wheeled explorer to get a big picture of the Red Planet.
BREEZE BOOKS – 'How to Mars' follows six space travelers on the journey to the Red Planet |
Mars, the Red Planet, is hot. Not just thermally, but also culturally. Current news of the Perseverance Rover titillates us. "The Martian," a surprise bestselling novel by Andy Weir became a hit movie starring Matt Damon.
Author David Ebenbach enters this space with the cheekily titled "How to Mars." As the title implies the novel reads like a "Mars for Dummies" entry co-authored by Ray Bradbury and Larry David.

NASA wants to harvest water on moon and Mars, and Virginia Tech team thinks it can help - Daily
HAMPTON — Deep beneath Mars' red clay surface lie ancient oceans now frozen into ice sheets. Earth's moon has hidden water deposits, too — pockets embedded deep inside its rocks.
It's the kind of liquid treasure scientists at NASA hope to one day mine using specialized drilling tools on the moon or Mars.
The Geology of Mars: How Eyes in the Sky Lead to Boots on the Ground – Now.
For millennia, we studied the world without the benefit of a view from orbit. Then, in 1947, a camera flew 100 miles above ground . In an instant, our view expanded by far more than the millions of square miles captured in four black and white frames.
The era of studying objects in space via remote sensing continues to this day, with the aid of detailed maps using visual, thermal and chemical data.

One such theory is converting carbon dioxide, of which there is plenty on Mars, into methane. How would you do this?
UC College of Engineering and Applied Science Assistant Professor Jingjie Wu says you could easily pump carbon dioxide, water and a carbon catalyst through a reactor and produce methane for a rocket.
