Indias first Mars satellite enters orbit, costing just 11% of NASAs own Mars mission
2014-09-24 13:40:50| Extremetech
India's Mars orbiter, Mangalyaan, has successfully inserted itself into Mars orbit. India becomes only the fourth space agency to successfully make it into Mars orbit, behind the Soviets, NASA, and the ESA. Remarkably, the entirety of India's Mangalyaan mission cost just 4.5 billion rupees -- or about $74 million. Compare this to NASA's own MAVEN Mars orbiter, which has a total mission cost of around $672 million. This was also India's first attempt to reach Mars orbit -- historically, only Europe's ESA made it to Mars on its first attempt.

Mars rover Curiosity finally arrives at its primary science target: Mount Sharp
2014-09-12 16:16:03| Extremetech
After two years on the surface of Mars, Curiosity has finally reached its primary science destination: the foot of Mount Sharp, or to give its official name Aeolis Mons. It will now slowly climb Mount Sharp, drilling into rocks and analyzing a series of interesting boundaries between different strata -- layers of geologically interesting rock that have found their way to the surface and can tell us a lot about the history of the Red Planet.
