SpaceX Plans To Develop 'Marslink' Network To Provide Internet On Mars
SpaceX has introduced a Marslink concept, a satellite-based communication network around Mars, to support interplanetary data exchange for future Mars missions. NASA reviewed this and other proposals, including Blue Origin's Blue Ring orbital tug and Lockheed Martin's MAVEN-based network. The Marslink network would build on SpaceX’s Starlink tech...

Mars Loses Water Faster When Closer to the Sun, New Hubble and MAVEN Study Shows
Mars loses water faster when it is closest to the Sun, according to new data from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. The rate of hydrogen loss in Mars' atmosphere increases significantly during perihelion, the point in its orbit closest to the Sun. This seasonal change has major implicati...
