This illustration shows NASA's Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV), which will carry tubes containing Martian rock and soil samples into orbit around Mars, where ESA's Earth Return Orbiter spacecraft will enclose them in a highly secure containment capsule and deliver them to Earth.
Meet the project manager of the first rocket to launch from the surface of another planet, the Mars Ascent Vehicle.
'Huge leap' as scientists report first drone-assisted space rock recovery after observed ...
Scientists in Western Australia have carried out the first recovery of an observed meteorite fall with the help of drones and machine-learning techniques.
The discovery was made after a bright meteor fireball was spotted in April last year by cameras belonging to the Australian Desert Fireball Network .

Finding Moons' Hidden Oceans with Induced Magnetic Fields - Eos
In the 21st century, planetary scientists have become increasingly aware that subsurface oceans consisting of liquid water exist within objects throughout the solar system.
A primary way of deducing the existence of an unseen ocean is through an induced magnetic field. These fields originate from a unique application of Faraday's law of induction , which states that a time-varying magnetic field creates an electric current when applied to a circuit.

The sun readies for its close-up as Europe's Solar Orbiter approaches | Space
The European Solar Orbiter mission will make its closest approach to the sun later this month, promising to capture images that could unravel some of the mysterious behaviours of the star at the heart of our solar system.
Solar Orbiter , a European Space Agency (ESA) mission with a contribution from NASA, launched in February 2020.
It seemed like the most dangerous asteroid in a decade, but it definitely won't hit Earth | Space
A recently discovered asteroid seemed to be on a trajectory to hit Earth next year, but orbit recalculation eventually revealed it will miss our planet.
The 230-feet-wide (70 meters) asteroid 2022 EA1 was discovered on Jan. 7 and frightened space defenders because it appeared bound to collide with our planet on July 4, 2023 — too soon to launch a deflection mission, according to a statement by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Ukrainian flag will launch on SpaceX rocket with Polaris Dawn crew this year | Space
The all-private Polaris Dawn mission publicly shared its support for Ukraine as the nation continues to endure attacks from Russia.
The crewed Polaris Dawn, led by Inspiration4 founder and tech billionaire Jared Isaacman, will fly a Ukrainian flag to Earth orbit, mission team members announced Monday (March 7).
In the hunt for dark matter, are axions our best bet? | Space
Scientists investigating the true identity of dark matter are finding new evidence to support one leading candidate: axions.
Since its existence was first inferred in 1933, dark matter has remained an elusive "white whale" for scientists around the globe. While it is thought to comprise about 85% of all matter in the universe, what the invisible matter actually is remains a mystery.
The Mars Ascent Vehicle will play a key role in the Mars Sample Return mission, launching into orbit the samples ga… https://t.co/PKndRrEXb0 NASA_SLS (from Huntsville, AL) Tue Mar 08 21:00:11 +0000 2022
