NASA's Mars Sample Return mission, which aimed to bring rocks collected by the Perseverance rover back to Earth, has been cancelled. The programme had faced years of cost overruns and schedule delays, with estimates climbing well beyond initial budgets. Scientists say the decision is a major blow to planetary science, and debate is expected over how, or whether, Mars samples will ever reach laboratories on Earth.

NASA's Perseverance rover has found that Jezero Crater on Mars was more than just an ancient lake, according to new findings from the mission. The discovery adds to evidence that the crater, formed billions of years ago, hosted a more complex watery environment than scientists previously understood, with implications for the search for signs of past life on the red planet.
