What methods and simulations can engineers use to accurately test rovers that are used on other worlds like the Moon and Mars? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Field Robotics ...

It's been more than 18 months since NASA narrowed to three the field of competitors vying to build the nation's next moon ...

As space agencies race to set foot on the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere, a not-so-glamorous problem could be the key to success: ...

It’s been more than 18 months since NASA narrowed to three the field of competitors vying to build the nation’s next moon rover.

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison uncovered a critical flaw in how lunar and Martian rovers are tested on Earth. Simulations revealed that test results have been misleading for decades ...

Apollo 17 astronauts drove a moon buggy across the lunar surface in 1972, measuring gravity with a special instrument. There are no astronauts on Mars, but a group of clever researchers realized they ...

Engineers took NASA’s Mars 2020 for a spin on Aug. 29, 2019. The 2,300-pound (1,040-kilogram) Martian vehicle was rotated clockwise and counterclockwise at about 1 revolution per minute on what is ...

If there's one thing everybody knows about space, it's that there's no gravity once you leave the Earth's atmosphere. We all know that don't we? It's actually not true — and an attempt at a massive ...

NASA’s rover has made a poignant discovery on Mars: the crushed remains of a helicopter that once soared through the planet’s ...

Back in the day when Opel was still part of General Motors, another important European car manufacturer that belonged to the biggest of the Big Detroit Three wasn't Britain's Vauxhall – it was ...
