NASA has released a mesmerising video showing images captured by a spacecraft as it flew past Mars. The Psyche spacecraft is on its way to visit and study asteroid Psyche, which is located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It's expected to reach the asteroid in July 2029, but in May 2026, it made a close pass of Mars.

Recently, NASA extended the idea of private-public partnerships to Mars. The space agency has struck a deal with Relativity Space to send an orbital probe to the Red Planet, with a launch date no earlier than 2028. The probe is named Aeolus, named after the divine keeper of the winds in Greek mythology. In keeping with that name, NASA is providing four instruments for the probe that will send “the first integrated, daily, global view of Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.” The understanding derived about weather on Mars will be of great help to future crewed missions.
