Hello everyone, good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. This is Dr. Penguin🐧The 'Martian moon probe' that became a hot topic on X. Attention is also gathering around Japan's MMX (Martian Moons eXploration) project,

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has set a new record for the longest distance traveled on the surface of another planet, the space agency said.

The yardangs sit on the northwest side of a three-mile-tall mountain called Mount Sharp, and both features sit in Mars’ Gale Crater, according to the outlet. Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012 and has been climbing Mount Sharp since 2014. On August 26, it reached 0.6 miles of elevation, which is a record for Martian rovers.

AM on October 20, 2026, JAXA launched the H3 Launch Vehicle Flight 10 from the Tanegashima Space Center, successfully placing the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft into its planned orbit. The launch was a success.

The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or Maven, spacecraft arrived at Mars in 2014, making it NASA’s youngest orbiter. It was only briefly the youngest in the international Mars family, as the Indian space agency’s Mars Orbiting Mission spacecraft arrived a few days later.

New observations suggest that seasonal dry ice can send soil rushing downhill, carving channels that look deceptively familiar.
