"The fundamental elements of generative AI are showing a lot of promise in streamlining the pillars of autonomous navigation ...

NASA quietly let a Mars rover think for itself in December 2025. Behind this shift stands Vandi Verma, whose work hints at how future missions may explore worlds alone.

The AI used the same data human planners employ to guide Perseverance through the Martian terrain. February marks the ...

During the demonstration, NASA engineers used vision-language models, or VLMs, to create waypoints on Mars for Perseverance.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and ...

NASA has launched the Mars to Table Challenge, seeking Earth-independent food systems capable of sustaining astronauts on long-duration Moon and Mars missions.

The discovery suggests that parts of Mars may once have supported tropical-like climates, complete with heavy, sustained rainfall.

Using high-resolution imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the AI analyzed the bedrock and boulder fields. It processed the same data humans use, but it worked faster, stringing together ...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence.

A Mars spacecraft has now been AWOL for more than a month. But NASA hasn't given up hope of restoring contact with the MAVEN ...

MAVEN was built to last in orbit until 2030 — that's not looking likely anymore.
