There's more than one way to put solar panels on top of a vehicle. Jackery's Solar Generator Mars Bot hasn't really been to Mars, but it has been to Las Vegas.

InSight’s twin solar arrays are each 7 feet (2.2 meters) wide; when they’re open, the entire lander is about the size of a big 1960s convertible. Mars has weaker sunlight than Earth because it ...

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured evidence of a solar storm's charged particles arriving at the Martian surface in this three-frame video taken by one of the rover's navigation cameras on May ...

At the same time, the lander’s two large solar panels experienced very small bumps in power – about 0.7% on one panel and 2.7% on the other – suggesting a tiny amount of dust was lifted.

During a recent solar storm, NASA's Curiosity rover detected its highest-ever level of radiation reaching the surface of Mars. By Passant Rabie Published June 11, 2024 | Comments (1) 𝕏 ...

It’s one of the strongest categories of these solar barrages, and it ripped into the Martian surface with a radiation dose of 8,100 micrograys — equivalent to 30 chest X-rays.

Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global magnetic field and interacts with the solar wind directly. Over billions of years, this interaction has stripped much of the Martian atmosphere, transforming the ...

Mars's atmosphere and climate are impacted by interactions with solar wind, a stream of plasma comprised of protons and electrons that flows from the sun's outermost atmosphere (corona), traveling ...

A solar storm hit Mars after the sun unleashed a massive flare in May. Orbiters and the Curiosity rover witnessed the storm’s impact firsthand, including auroras.
