NASA’s next Mars rover has a new name: Perseverance. After sorting through more than 28,000 submissions from K-12 students from every U.S. state and territory, one name was chosen. Alexander Mather, a 13-year-old student from Virginia who submitted the winning name, explains why he chose Perseverance as the name of NASA’s next robotic scientist to visit the Red Planet.

How will Perseverance help with future human exploration? And how will the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter work?
NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is creating a lot of excitement. The new rover will look for signs of past microbial life, cache rock and soil samples, and prepare for future human exploration.
As part of the assembly, test, and launch operations team, NASA engineer Michelle Colizzi explains the Perseverance rover’s mission. She details how the drill will collect core samples and outlines plans to test a new technology to produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere.

This visualization tracks the trajectory of the Voyager 1 spacecraft through the solar system. Launched on September 5, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn before being directed out of the solar system.
To fit the 40 year history of the mission into a short visualization, the pacing of time accelerates through most of the movie, starting at about 5 days per second at the beginning and speeding up to about 11 months per second after the planet flybys are past.
The termination shock and heliopause are the 'boundaries' created when the plasma between the stars interacts with the plasma flowing outward from the Sun. They are represented with simple grid models and oriented so their 'nose' is pointed in the direction (Right Ascension = 17h 24m, declination = 17 degrees south) represented by more recent measurements from other missions.

The six-member crew of the next space shuttle mission spoke with media on Jan. 20 at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A in Florida. The astronauts for shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 mission are at Kennedy to participate in a full launch dress rehearsal, known as the terminal countdown demonstration test, and related training. The test provides an opportunity for the crew and ground teams
to participate in various simulated countdown activities, including equipment familiarization and emergency escape training. During its 13-day mission, the shuttles astronauts will deliver a third connecting module, the Tranquility node, to the International Space Station. Endeavours crew members are Commander George Zamka, Pilot Terry Virts and Mission Specialists Robert Behnken,
Nicholas Patrick, Kathryn Hire and Stephen Robinson. Launch is targeted for Feb. 7.
