The Mawrth Vallis region with the proposed landing site areas over (left) MOLA altimetry superposed on the THEMIS (Thermal Emission Imaging System) daytime IR mosaic and (right) HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera) color and nadir mosaic. The ellipse envelopes are drawn in white for Mars2020 (12 km x 10 km) and red for ExoMars. The ellipses (120 km x 19 km) for ExoMars Launch Program Opening and Closing (LPO and LPC respectively) are in yellow. -- astro-ph.EP

A prototype of a robot designed to explore subsurface oceans of icy moons is reflected in the water’s surface during a pool test at Caltech in September. Conducted by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the testing showed the feasibility of a mission concept for a swarm of mini swimming robots. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
