NASA Races to Restore Contact With MAVEN Mars Orbiter After Weeks of Silence
NASA has resumed efforts to reestablish contact with the MAVEN spacecraft after Mars emerged from solar conjunction. Engineers are using the Deep Space Network and studying recovered data from December 6 to determine what caused the communication loss and assess the spacecraft’s condition.

MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...
