Despite a lack of public enthusiasm, NASA’s Artemis program will endure because human spaceflight has strong congressional support and signals great-power status.

Over its 57 yr history, the Arecibo telescope was used to produce radar maps of Venus that pioneered our understanding of surface landforms and geologic processes. The best spatial resolution of 1–2 km achievable with the ...

The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) remains one of the world's most visited museums precisely because it embodies the "romance of technological progress." From its origins in the US National ...

Measurements from the InSight lander radiometer acquired after landing are used to characterize the thermophysical properties of the martian soil in Homestead hollow. This dataset is unique as it stems from a high measurement ...

Knowing precisely where a spacecraft lands on Mars is important for understanding the regional and local context, setting, and the offset between the inertial and cartographic frames. For the InSight spacecraft, the payload ...

Estimates of river paleodischarges have been used to constrain the former climate of Mars. Paleodischarge has been calculated using mechanistic approximations of the channel bed-shear stress at the threshold of particle ...
