If you’re looking for a fun project for you or your kids this holiday season, then how about building a miniature "Mars rover"?

An identical version of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover has been taken for a spin in the Mars Yard, a dirt field that simulates the Martian surface.

A week ahead of the launch, NASA has posted a video Perseverance’s cross-country trip to the launchpad, as well as the procedure for getting it onto the rocket.

NASA has released a new video highlighting the upcoming Mars mission that's set to send the next rover and first aircraft to the Red Planet.

Repairs to some ground system equipment has prompted NASA to delay the launch of its Mars 2020 mission by three days, with liftoff now set for July 20.

NASA has put its Perseverance rover through thousands of tests to make sure it's ready for the challenging conditions of Mars when it arrives there in 2021.

The Mars 2020 rover is finally going to get a name as the space agency announces the winning suggestion from one of nine student finalists. Here's how to watch.

NASA has revealed the top nine entries in its Mars 2020 rover name contest and you can vote for your favorite. The contest will reveal the winning name in March, with the student who suggested it invited to watch the mission launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida in July.

On this episode of Digital Trends Live, we break down the biggest-trending topics of the day, including the end of Windows 7 support, Apple's latest refusal to unlock a cell phone, fallout from the Houston Astros' use of tech to cheat, the effort to choose the Mars Rover's name, and more.

NASA has revealed the semifinalists in the naming contest for its Mars 2020 rover, which is set to begin its journey to the Martian Surface in July 2020. The public will soon have a chance to vote for their favorite suggestion among nine finalists, though NASA said its judges will have the final say.

The Mars 2020 rover recently passed a crucial driving test, with NASA scientists confirming that its next outing will be on Martian soil. The advanced, six-wheel vehicle rolled forward and backward over small ramps during the laboratory test and also turned on the spot.

Fancy the idea of naming the Mars 2020 rover? Well, if you're a student in the U.S., you’re in luck. Run by NASA, the prize includes not only having your winning name attached to the rover, but also a ticket to Florida to watch the mission lift off from Cape Canaveral in July 2020.

On this episode of Digital Trends Live, we discuss the biggest trending news in tech, including the release of the Galaxy Tab S6, the Apple Card launches in August, a move to ban autoplay videos, Facebook’s “brain-computer interface,” NASA’s Mars rover lifts weights, and more.

The Mars 2020 rover is preparing for its big mission by doing some "bicep curls" in a new video released by NASA. The rover will head to Mars in July 2020 and is scheduled to land on the Red Planet’s Jezero Crater in February 2021 -- with a swole arm to collect dirt and rocks.

Could there be a bigger brag than the fact that you named the next Mars rover? That’s exactly what NASA is promising K-12 students in the U.S. by launching a new contest that will allow some lucky kid to be the one to name one of humanity’s greatest technological achievements to date.

Dream of making it to Mars? NASA opened up a new public outreach program to let individuals send their names to the Red Planet, as an engraving on a silicon chip launched with the space agency’s next rover, due to touch down on Mars in February 2021. Here's what you need to know.

Ever wondered how the Curiosity rover was designed and trained? With no tech support available, engineers have to plan how a rover will navigate and collect samples. A rover testing out Mars-like environments here on Earth has successful in collecting soil samples in a trial mission to find signs of life.

The U.K. Space Agency has completed tests of new self-driving software, which will allow future Mars exploration rovers to autonomously explore their environment. The tests were carried out in the Sahara desert, the closest thing Earth has to the harsh Martian landscape.

After years of consideration, NASA has finally chosen the all-important landing site for its Mars 2020 rover. The location is a 28-mile-wide crater where water once flowed, with NASA suggesting it may contain material that could "revolutionize how we think about Mars and its ability to harbor life.”

In a quest that could finally settle the question of whether there was ever life on Mars, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are pooling their resources for a bold three-part mission to retrieve soils samples from the surface of the red planet, launch them into orbit, and return them to laboratories on Earth.

If you've ever dreamed of having your own Mars rover, a new Kickstarter remote-controlled Earth rover may just be the answer to your prayers.

Researchers have turned Mars Rover tech towards chemical weapons, using lasers to detect weapons-grade uranium at a distance.

NASA just unveiled two new online tools which allow anyone with Internet access the ability to explore the surface of Mars and drive the Curiosity rover.
