ESA has demonstrated expertise in studying #Mars from orbit, now we are looking to secure a safe landing, to rove across the surface and to drill underground to search for evidence of life. Our orbiters are already in place to provide data relay services for surface missions. The next logical step is to bring samples back to Earth, to provide access to Mars for scientists globally, and to better prepare for future human exploration of the Red Planet.

🗻 Frosty volcanoes on Mars? Our ExoMars and Mars Express missions have spotted water frost for the first time on top of the Tharsis volcanoes: the tallest volcanoes not only on Mars but in the Solar System. It was detected near Mars’s equator, a part of the planet where it was thought impossible for frost to exist. The researchers propose that air circulates in a peculiar way above Tharsis; this creates a unique microclimate within the calderas of the volcanoes there that allows patches of fros

🔴🛰️ Fly over Xanthe Terra with Mars Express Our Mars Express takes us on another mesmerising flight over curving channels carved by water, islands that have resisted erosion, and a maze of hilly terrain. Central to the tour is a 1300 km-long outflow channel called Shalbatana Vallis. It cascades down from the highland region of Xanthe Terra to the smoother lowlands of Chryse Planitia. Billions of years ago, water surged through this channel, creating many of the features we see today. The tour

Robots guided from space 🤖 A team of robots explored a Mars-like landscape in Germany, guided remotely by @nasa astronaut @jonnykimusa aboard the @iss. This was the fourth and final session of the Surface Avatar experiment, a project in collaboration with @dlr.en to study how astronauts can control robots remotely to perform complex tasks on the Moon and Mars. The first part of the session simulated an exploration scenario on Mars to retrieve scattered sample containers across a rugged terrain.

Could we grow algae on Mars to feed future astronauts? 🌱 A recent ESA Discovery project with the University of Valencia and Instituto Biotecmed explored whether hardy microalgae from lichens could survive Martian conditions – and the results are promising! From oxygen to nutrition, these tiny organisms might be key to space farming. One step closer to living off the land… on Mars. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 @universitatvalencia/Biotecmed | ESA - European Space Agency

Two faces of Mars, one stunning snapshot. 🟥 On one side: ancient, rugged, cratered. 🟧 On the other: smooth plains, resurfaced by lava. This new image from our Mars Express shows a region called Acheron Fossae, not far from two giant volcanoes: Olympus Mons (about 1200 km to the south) and Alba Mons (about 1200 km to the northeast), though neither is visible in the picture. Long ago, these volcanoes and movements in the crust helped form the landscape we see here, when Mars was much more active

A martian butterfly flaps its wings 🦋 Insects aren’t commonplace on Mars, so it’s no surprise that this is no butterfly as we know it. It’s actually a kind of crater, formed as a space rock hurtled towards the Red Planet and collided with its red-brown surface. The collision caused two distinct lobes of material to be flung outwards to the crater’s north and south, creating two outstretched ‘wings’ of raised ground. The wings of this particular butterfly crater are rather undefined and irregula

Meet Olympus, a four-legged robot that could help us explore Mars one day. 🤖 When on ground, the robot moves around using its four ‘double’ legs, each one consists of two limbs with a bending joint, connected at the bottom in a paw-like patch. The robot could easily move around Mars’s surface, as well as venture beneath it. For example into the martian lava rubes, volcanic caverns that would be too high-risk for flying probes, like drones, to explore. At our orbit facility, Olympus was tested i

We’re keeping time in space ⏱️ For the first time, a fully European active hydrogen maser — one of the most precise clocks on Earth — is running at our deep-space ground station in New Norcia, Australia. Why it matters? These ultra-stable clocks are the heartbeat of deep-space missions, navigation, and even fundamental physics experiments. And now, Europe has its own! 📹 @europeanspaceagency 🎞️ Safran Timing Technologies; ESA; ESA/DiGOS Potsdam GmbH; @gettyimages; @hubbleesa; ESA/BepiColombo/MT

European Space Agency cuts ties with Russia on Mars rover mission

Four out of four! ⚡️ This summer, we pulled off something historic: four successful laser links with @NASA’s Psyche spacecraft — over 300 million kilometres away. From mountaintops in Greece, our team fired laser beams across the Solar System, caught signals just a few photons strong, and even received… a cat video. Yes, the first-ever interplanetary cat chasing a laser! Why does it matter? Because optical communications can one day send huge amounts of data across deep space at lightning speed
