About MAVEN
The MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) mission has been orbiting Mars since 2014, analyzing the Martian atmosphere for clues about the planet's past climate conditions. It plays a crucial role in understanding the loss of atmospheric gases to space, which informs us about how Mars' climate changed over time.
Mission Goals
- Investigate how the solar wind and solar storms impact the Martian atmosphere.
- Understand the role that loss of atmospheric gases to outer space played in changing the Martian climate.
- Provide insight into the evolution of planetary atmospheres and climates within our solar system.
