Science jurnalida chop etilgan tadqiqotga ko'ra, 2022-yilda Mali hududidagi Sahroda topilgan Teghaza 001 meteoriti 4,1 milliard yildan ko'proq vaqt oldin hosil bo'lgan va Yerdagi eng qadimgi uchta Mars meteoritlaridan biri hisoblanadi. NASA olimlari uni Marsning qadimgi qobig'i va uning suv tarixi haqida kamdan-kam ma'lumot manbai sifatida ko'rishmoqda.
Otabek YusupovRussian cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin told RIA Novosti that humanity is not yet ready to send people to Mars. Among the key problems he cited supplying the crew with food, protection from space radiation, and the impact of a two-year flight on health and psyche, noting that even a modern spacecraft does not guarantee the expedition's success.
Sevara AzamovaAn H3 rocket lifted off the MMX probe from the Tanegashima spaceport on October 20, 2026. The spacecraft is to reach Mars in August 2027, collect at least 10 grams of Phobos soil and return the samples to Earth in 2031. Five space agencies are taking part in the mission, including JAXA, NASA, and the French and German agencies.
Madina UsmonovaOn October 20, Japan's MMX mission will launch from the Tanegashima Space Center aboard an H3 rocket. It is set to become the first mission in the world to land on Mars's moon Phobos, collect about 10 grams of soil, and deliver it to Earth — according to various sources, in 2031 or by fiscal year ending March 2032. The mission aims to determine the origin of Mars's moons and will be the first 'round-trip' flight to the Martian system.
Madina UsmonovaResearchers in Hong Kong are creating 3D-printed building blocks from materials that could be sourced on Mars. The mixture of sand, gelatin and genetically modified yeast that secretes adhesive proteins is inspired by freeze-dried fruit. The blocks are being tested under simulated Martian conditions, but equipment delivery and power supply remain obstacles.

Project manager Steven Lee noted the vehicle's excellent technical condition and the possibility of operating into the 2030s.
Madina UsmonovaA junior researcher at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in an article for Global Times, listed three key tasks for the exploration of Mars: communication between the planets, delivery of cargo and samples, and sustaining human life. China plans the Tianwen-3 mission around 2028, with soil return by 2031.
