NASA and Relativity Space Collaborate on Mars Atmospheric Study

NASA has announced a new public-private partnership with Relativity Space to further Mars atmospheric science. NASA will supply the Aeolus instrument payload, while Relativity Space will handle spacecraft development and mission operations for a 2028 launch. This mission aims to provide comprehensive daily global data on Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds, enhancing atmospheric models and reducing risks for future landings.
