Mars
NASA's Psyche spacecraft is scheduled to pass within 2,800 miles of Mars on May 15 to gain a gravitational boost toward its target asteroid. The maneuver will increase the probe's speed while allowing tests of its scientific instruments.

NASA's Curiosity rover faced an unexpected challenge during a recent sampling attempt on the Martian surface.
Researchers at Rice University have developed a climate model showing that small lakes on early Mars could remain liquid for decades beneath thin seasonal ice, despite freezing temperatures. This finding addresses a key puzzle in planetary science about evidence of water on a seemingly cold Red Planet. The study suggests such lakes may have melted and refrozen annually without fully solidifying.

A European research team has developed a system of three robots to autonomously explore lava tunnels on the Moon and Mars, which could serve as protected bases for astronauts. The technology was tested successfully in volcanic caves on Lanzarote, Spain, demonstrating its potential for mapping underground environments. This mission concept aims to shield explorers from radiation and meteorite impacts.
