US space agency NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has been photographed, from an orbiting space craft, making its lonely way across the Red Planet’s surface.
The image marks what may be the first time one of the agency’s Mars orbiters has captured the rover driving.
The image was captured on Feb. 28 the 4,466th Martian day of the mission, mid-drive across the barren Martian terrain.
In the image, Curiosity’s tracks lead to the base of a steep slope. The rover has since ascended that slope since then, and it is expected to reach its new science location within a month or so.
The photo was taken by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, known as HiRISE, aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, one of seven currently circling the planet.
It shows Curiosity as a dark speck at the front of a long trail of rover tracks.
The tracks are thought likely to last for months before being slowly erased by wind.
The tracks are about 320 meters long and represent roughly 11 drives starting on Feb. 2 as Curiosity trucked along at a top speed of 0.16 kph f on the journey specified science stops.
In this case it was heading to a region with potential formations, possibly made by groundwater billions of years ago.
OPS:NASA’s Curiosity rover appears as a dark speck in this contrast-enhanced view captured on Feb. 28, 2025, by the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Trailing Curiosity are the rover’s tracks, which can linger on the Martian surface for months before being erased by the wind.

A Mars space rover is set to help US space agency NASA decide the best material to use for making space suits for human landings on the Red Planet,
NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars in 2021 to search for signs of ancient microbial life and to help scientists understand the planet’s climate and geography.
But another key objective is to pave the way for human exploration and as part of that effort, the carries a set of five spacesuit material samples.
Now, after those samples have endured four years of exposure on Mars’ dusty, radiation-soaked surface, scientists are beginning the next phase of studying them.
The end goal is to predict accurately the usable lifetime of a Mars spacesuit.
What the agency learns about how the materials perform on Mars will inform the design of future spacesuits for the first astronauts on the Red Planet.
The swatches, each 20 mm square, are part of a calibration target used to test the settings of an instrument on the end of Perseverance’s arm called SHERLOC which scans the planet for chemicals and possible signs of life.
The samples include a piece of polycarbonate helmet visor; cut-resistant material Vectran used for the palms of astronaut gloves; two kinds of Teflon, which has dust-repelling nonstick properties and a commonly used spacesuit material called Ortho-Fabric.
This last fabric features multiple layers, including Nomex, a flame-resistant material found in firefighter outfits; Gore-Tex, which is waterproof but breathable; and Kevlar, a strong material used in bulletproof vests that makes spacesuits more rip-resistant.

Glenn Research Center de la Nasa et Goodyear développent des pneus pour la planète Mars
Pictures must credit: NASA The tyres that could carry astronauts over the surface of Mars have been unveiled by US space agency NASA. While several robotic missions have landed on Mars, NASA has only explored 1% of its surface. Ahead of future human and robotic missions to the Red Planet, NASA recently completed rigorous rover testing on Martian-simulated terrain; It used a revolutionary alloy mesh tyre developed at the agency’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland in partnership with car tyre manufacturer Goodyear. The tyres were made from a nickel-titanium alloy which has the ability to rearrange its atomic structure when force is introduced. It’s a shape memory metal which means it that can return to its original shape after being bent, stretched, heated, and cooled. Rovers for exploring planetary surfaces must be equipped with adequate tyres for the environment. Mars has an uneven, rocky surface so the durable so-called shape memory alloy tyres will make that possible. They can absorb the impact from a wide range of sharp, craggy rocks without suffering damage. NASA engineers just tested the tyres at a UK facility owned by European aircraft maker Airbus that simulates the Martian terrain, called Mars Yard.

US space agency NASA is calling on companies to come up with ideas for returning soil and rocks samples from Mars and to Earth.
The space agency’s Mars Sample Return mission requires the collection of samples gathered by the Perseverance rover for a return trip.
It had its own programme under development with a mission date set for 2040.
But now it wants proposals for a less complex mission that would lower costs using already available technology and bring back the samples years earlier.
NASA associate administrator Nicky Fox said the change was due to budget cutbacks for the agency.
Fox added: “We are looking at out-of-the-box possibilities that could return the samples earlier and at a lower cost.
OPS: The 24th Martian sample being collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover taken from a region of Jezero Crater that is especially rich in carbonate, a mineral linked to habitability.
The rover used its abrasion bit to grind away the surface of the rock, cameras showed interesting and diverse textures.
It also spotted silica and carbonate, minerals that scientists know have the highest potential to preserve signs of ancient life on Earth.
Sceintists wonder if it might have preserved signs of ancient martian life

US space agency NASA has given a $4.6 billion contract to three companies to each develop a Moon rover that will be used by astronauts on future lunar missions.
Only one will eventually be selected to build the official lunar terrain vehicle known as an LTV.
It will be used by crews for NASA’s Artemis missions to travel around the Moon’s surface, conducting scientific research.
It will also be used in preparations for human missions to Mars.
The three companies, the USA’s Intuitive Machines from Texas, , Lunar Outpost in Colorado and Europe’s Venturi Astrolab in Monaco, have been commissioned to advance the capabilities of the LTV.
The Artemis programme will put humans back on the lunar surface by the end of the decade.
The LTV must be able to handle the extreme conditions at the Moon’s South Pole and feature advanced technologies for power management, autonomous driving, and state of the art communications and navigation systems.
Crews will use it to explore, transport scientific equipment, and collect samples of the lunar surface, much farther than they could on foot, enabling increased science returns.

US space agency NASA is planning an out of this world treat for space lovers — by sending their names to the Moon.
Anyone can sign up to have a part of themselves carried to the surface by a robotic lunar rover named VIPER.
It is NASA’s first robotic lunar rover and the name is short for Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover.
The rover will embark on a mission to the lunar South Pole to unravel the mysteries of the Moon’s water.
It is designed to help give a better understand the environment where NASA plans to land the first woman and first person of colour before the end of the decade under its Artemis program.
As part of the “Send Your Name with VIPER” campaign, NASA will accept names received before March 15.
Once collected, the agency will take the names and attach them to the rover.
Anyone who would like their name rocketed into space needs to sign up at www.nasa.gov/send-your-name-with-viper
The site also enables participants to create and download a virtual souvenir in the shape of a boarding pass to the VIPER mission featuring their name to commemorate the experience.
Participants are also encouraged to share their requests on social media using the hashtag #SendYourName.

FFuture astronauts will be driving around on the Moon’s surface — in an out-of-this-world Toyota.
The Japanese car giant has released details of its planned Lunar Cruiser.
The vehicle , developed in tandem with the country’s space agency JAXA, will launch in 2029.
Toyota had previously discussed building a space rover in 2019 but now has revealed more details about its development.
The company is currently in the preliminary development phase before beginning work on the main vehicle in 2024.
Lunar Cruiser is Toyota’s nickname for the vehicle, which is officially called a “crewed pressurised rover.”

US space agency NASA has revealed the tiny Moon rovers that will be sent to map the lunar surface ahead of a manned mission.
Three of the autonomous miniature bots are set to launch in 2024 to deploy cameras and ground-penetrating radar to create a 3D map of the celestial satellite.
The suitcase-sized machines are due to arrive at the moon aboard a lander and be be lowered onto using tethers.
Each of the four-wheeled vehicles will then drive to find a sunbathing spot, where they'll open their solar panels and charge up.
Once this has been completed, the bots will spend a full lunar day – about 14 Earth days – carrying out experiments designed to test their capabilities.
The rovers are part of NASA's Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration project called CADRE for short.
They will betake instructions from a base station aboard their lander .
The robots will then choose a leader which in turn will distribute work assignments to accomplish the collective goal.

Le plus grand rover lunaire de tous les temps doit être utilisé par la société SpaceX du propriétaire de Tesla, Elon Musk, lorsqu'il lancera une mission sans pilote dans trois ans. Le véhicule, appelé rover Flexible Logistics and Exploration, de FLEX en abrégé, sera le rover le plus grand et le plus capable à avoir jamais voyagé sur la surface lunaire. Il est développé et construit par une société d'exploration spatiale américaine dont le personnel comprend d'anciens ingénieurs de la NASA de l'agence spatiale américaine. Astrolab a publié des images montrant le rover FLEX en action, déployant et transportant des marchandises, faisant fonctionner son bras robotique et déployant une infrastructure. Lorsque les humains remettent enfin le pied à la surface, il peut être rapidement converti avec un add-on modulaire permettant à un équipage de deux hommes de monter à bord. Les rovers planétaires précédents étaient des véhicules sur mesure conçus sur mesure pour des missions spécifiques. Au lieu de cela, le rover FLEX offre une polyvalence accrue grâce à sa conception modulaire unique. En plus de transporter du fret et de l'équipage, il dispose d'un bras robotisé pour prélever des échantillons de sol et de roche et effectuer des activités scientifiques et logistiques. La suspension adaptative maintient le châssis à niveau sur les terrains difficiles tandis que les capteurs de navigation et de détection des dangers facilitent les opérations semi-autonomes. Un réseau de panneaux solaires déployables se dirige vers le Soleil pour s'assurer que les batteries internes de FLEX restent chargées. © JLPPA/Venturi Astrolab/Bestimage The largest Moon rover ever is to be used by Tesla owner Elon Musks SpaceX company when it launches an unmanned mission in three years times. The vehicle, called the Flexible Logistics and Exploration rover, of FLEX for short, will be the biggest and most capable rover to ever travel to the lunar surface. I

Le plus grand rover lunaire de tous les temps doit être utilisé par la société SpaceX du propriétaire de Tesla, Elon Musk, lorsqu'il lancera une mission sans pilote dans trois ans. Le véhicule, appelé rover Flexible Logistics and Exploration, de FLEX en abrégé, sera le rover le plus grand et le plus capable à avoir jamais voyagé sur la surface lunaire.
