Last year, NASA announced that it will send an unmanned Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter to study the Martian upper atmosphere in 2013. And yesterday, NASA launched MAVEN towards Mars.

Ever since Curiosity landed on Mars, the deep mystery of the red planet which had been buried for long time, started to come to light. In continuation to Mars revelation, lately NASA’s Goddard Conceptual Image Lab has revealed how Mars looked like 4-billion years ago.
Lasers are indisputably awesome and space agency NASA has led the attribution a bit higher. NASA’s lunar probe Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), which started orbiting the Moon earlier this month, has set a record breaking data transmission between the Moon and Earth with 622 Mb of data per second.
For long, scientists have been trying to verify that at least some of the meteorites to have reached our planet are Martian in origin. Now, thanks to NASA’s Curiosity rover, this has been confirmed through a precise measurement by the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument.

Search giant Google and space agency NASA launched their Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab in May of this year with hardware from the Canadian quantum computing company D-Wave. At then they just merely said something about the work as well as the long-term goals of Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab. But now, the two organizations have made a 6.5-minute short film to explain Quantum Computing Lab.
Space agency NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer or LADEE has been designed to probe the moon’s thin atmosphere and lunar dust. The good news is after a month-long journey, the lunar probe is now orbiting the Moon.
It’s been a few days since the US government was ‘shut down’, sending the internet into a frenzy of endless memes and jokes. Within a few hours of the government’s shut down, NASA’s site went down due to lack of federal government funding. Russia’s Pirate Party has now offered to fund the hosting bills for NASA.
Voyager 1 is the very first spacecraft that has been in the solar system for more than 36 years. Scientists have confirmed that Voyager 1 left the heliosphere on August 25, 2012 and entered into interstellar space. But the news left us with plenty of questions: What kind of data can we get from Voyager 1 now?, what NASA plans to do with it? etc. And therefore, the scientists and engineers of NASA lately have answered such questions at Reddit AMA. Here are some of the Question-answer session:
