Ever since, the big rover has been hunting for signs of ancient Mars life on the floor of the 28-mile-wide (45 kilometers) Jezero, which is a great place to do such work.

A Japanese space startup has taken a big step toward developing its first orbital rocket - which will be powered by gas from cow dung. Interstellar Technologies Inc. recently performed a combustion chamber static fire test at Japan's Hokkaido Spaceport as part of the development of the Cosmos engine for its Zero rocket.
The new footage was shown at the 2023 São Paulo Comic Con in Brazil, since there's no major U.S. events left in the calendar before the air date of April 2023.
