Elon Musk has a new reason to push forward with his plans to send humans to Mars. The SpaceX board has tied his compensation to his success in colonising Mars and sending at least 1 million people to the Red Planet. However, Musk's own timeline for this is 20 years.

Nuclear thermal propulsion or NPT technology could power future rockets, with NASA planning the first in-space test in early 2026. The technology is both promising and potentially horrifying. Here is why

Nuclear engines for space rockets soon? First in-space test planned in early 2026. Promises vs risks

Understanding the protocols and technologies in place to manage such a crisis is vital for the safety of crew members on long-duration missions.

If astronauts run out of oxygen in space, this is what happens..

Mars’ gravity is only about 38 per cent of Earth’s. Extended exposure to reduced gravity causes muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and cardiovascular weakening, all of which pose risks to astronauts’ long-term health. 

5 threats that make a Mars mission fatal for humans, according to NASA

Acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy has asserted that China will not beat the US in the race to the Moon. He said at a press conference that they will win the space race and that the budget allocated to them is enough.

Has the Perseverance rover found life on Mars? NASA's call to the media for a meeting on Wednesday has sparked speculation that the rover has possibly found signs of life on the Red Planet.  

Has NASA found life on Mars? Social media abuzz with speculation over 'Sapphire Canyon' and upcoming announcement

The interiors of Mars have chunks and blobs of ancient rocks that could have developed to form planets. The discovery was made when scientists were scanning through the data of NASA's InSight lander. How did they manage to remain the same for over 4.5 billion years?

This innovation is being developed as part of NASA’s Artemis programme, which aims to return humans to the Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars.

Putting humans on Mars and then ensuring they survive would require a lot of effort since the red planet is very different from Earth. This includes ensuring that everything works in an optimal way.

NASA scientists who spent over a year in a Mars simulation left the red-planet-like atmosphere on Sunday. As part of NASA's Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog program (CHAPEA), the crew spent over a year experiencing a Mars-like habitat.

NASA sent four people to a Mars simulation for a year. They are now back

NASA's Mars mission is just getting thrilling. NASA is seeking volunteers to participate in a one-year Mars surface simulation mission. It will help the space agency to develop plans for human exploration of the Red Planet.

NASA seeking volunteers to simulate a mission to Mars. Here's how to apply

Mars, a barren planet, is known for its harsh environment where the existence of life is nothing short of difficult, and living there won't be easy. Now, NASA is seeking applicants to do just that, in a simulation setting.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to send a rotocopter to Mars along with a lander, claimed several media reports. The ambitious mission will be executed as a follow-up to ISRO’s Mangalyaan Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) which reached its end of life in 2022.

ISRO’s next Mars mission to deploy rover, drone on red planet: Report

NASA has slowed down its own Mars sample mission amid uncertainty about its budget for next year. The US space agency's move has been criticised by both parties in the US, calling it “short-sighted and misguided”.

California lawmakers urge NASA to reverse funding cuts to its Mars Sample Return mission

Nine years after its wildly successful Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), aka Mangalyaan, India is preparing to send another spacecraft to the red planet. This was reported by Hindustan Times (HT) citing officials from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

India once again sets sights on Mars, readies to launch Mangalyaan-2

Astronauts go through an episode of loss of bone density during extended microgravity missions. This is why there have been very few lunar landing missions in the history of space science.

Experiments on astronaut mice prove humanity has a chance to land on Mars

India's Mars mission, Mangalyaan, has stopped communicating with the Earth. ISRO has said that Mangalyaan has run out of fuel, 8 years after it entered Mars' orbit. Did Mangalyaan conk off before time or did the mission exceed expectations? Priyanka Sharma brings you a report.

Gravitas: Farewell Mangalyaan: India's Mars mission comes to an end

China has successfully conducted the test of a new powerful engine for its super heavy-lift rocket for its lunar missions. According to reports, the engine is being designed to power the third stage of China’s planned Long March 9 —a super heavy-lift rocket which is being designed for space missions such as a crewed lunar landing and exploration on Mars.

India's Mars orbiter craft marked 8 years in orbit. However, with drained battery, India's 1st Mars mission might come to an end. ISRO's mars mission is the cheapest interplanetary mission.

Mangalyaan quietly bidding goodbye: India's maiden satellite runs out of fuel

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is all set to take the next, and very crucial step in space exploration with their uncrewed Artemis I mission to Moon, which will launch on Monday (August 29).
