The U.S. space agency’s Skyfall project calls for sending robotic helicopters to Mars on a nuclear-powered spacecraft before the end of Donald Trump’s presidency

NASA plans a 2028 nuclear-powered Mars mission using SR-1 Freedom and Skyfall helicopters, aiming to transform deep-space travel and future human exploration.

NASA revealed Tuesday its plans to build a permanent base on the moon. The space agency also announced a mission plan to launch a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars before the end of 2028. NASA is also just weeks, or perhaps days, away from launching ...

NASA’s new chief is reshaping the space agency’s goals, unveiling at an event in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday an ambitious vision that includes revamped plans for a moon base. While the space agency has long had its sights set on creating a settlement ...

The mission, called Space Reactor 1 Freedom, will test advanced nuclear electric propulsion. Upon reaching Mars, the spacecraft would deploy helicopters to explore the planet from the air. This technology could also be used to power a future longterm base ...

NASA’s ambitious plan to bring Martian soil and rock samples back to Earth has been officially scrapped. The decision marks a major turning point in interplanetary exploration, signaling that the United States might be stepping back from one of the most technically demanding space missions ever conceived.

Mars exploration is heating up. NASA eyes sample returns and crewed landings by the 2030s, but its current relay satellites — some decades past design life — struggle with data traffic from rovers, orbiters and future habitats.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman gave his first post-Artemis II mission interview to Fox and he made it clear that President Trump wants Americans on Mars.
