NASA announces end of long-operating Mars probe's mission
NASA announces end of long-operating Mars probe's mission WASHINGTON, May 29 : NASA announced on Tuesday the end of the mission of its MAVEN spacecraft, which spent more than 11 years orbiting Mars to study the atmosphere of Earth's planetary neighbor, after losing contact with the robotic probe six months ago. MAVEN, short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, was the U.S. space agency's first mission devoted to observing the Martian atmosphere and its evolution. Launched in 2013, it...
NASA's MAVEN Mars orbiter is officially dead after months of radio silence
NASA's MAVEN Mars orbiter is officially dead after months of radio silence Au revoir, MAVEN, mon ami. NASA is saying goodbye to one of its most accomplished Mars orbiters. After months of repeated attempts to reestablish contact with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) satellite, NASA has declared the Red Planet probe dead.
NASA ends MAVEN mission after Mars orbiter falls silent
NASA ends MAVEN mission after Mars orbiter falls silent NASA said on Wednesday it will end its mission studying Mars' atmosphere and evolution after losing contact with its MAVEN spacecraft for six months. MAVEN, which entered Martian orbit in 2014, was designed for a one- to two-year mission but operated for more than a decade before falling silent in December 2025. NASA said Wednesday it will end its mission to study the atmosphere and evolution of Mars after its probe went silent for six...
Astronauts could use lightning-like plasma jets to kill germs on the moon and Mars, demo hints
Astronauts could use lightning-like plasma jets to kill germs on the moon and Mars, demo hints A new lab experiment is testing plasma jets as a water-free solution for "space laundry" on future missions to the moon and Mars. As astronauts prepare for long-duration missions to the moon and Mars, sustaining human life far from Earth will depend on solving a gauntlet of technological challenges. Yes, researchers need to perfect the towering rockets and futuristic habitats that will keep...

Mars mission ends: NASA declares Maven dead after six months of silence Andrew Zinin Lead Editor After six months of radio silence, NASA's Maven spacecraft at Mars has been declared dead. The space agency confirmed Wednesday that the mission had ended after more than a decade of observations. Launched in 2013 to study the red planet's atmosphere from orbit, Maven mysteriously fell silent in early December after passing behind Mars.
'In an unrecoverable state': NASA confirms MAVEN spacecraft is officially dead after loss of signal behind Mars
'In an unrecoverable state': NASA confirms MAVEN spacecraft is officially dead after loss of signal behind Mars NASA has confirmed its MAVEN spacecraft is officially dead after losing contact with the probe in December. An anomaly in the probe's rotation speed led to an unexpected loss of power, though the exact cause remains unknown. After 11 years studying Mars from above, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft is officially dead, the agency announced in a statement on Wednesday (June 3).

Watch this bio-inspired Mars rover concept 'swim' through sand on curved wheels (video) The sandfish locomotion idea has been adopted from Scincus scincus, a lizard found in the Sahara desert. A novel approach to scouting the sand dunes of Mars is the Valles Marineris Explorer - or VaMEx.
Should we store Mars samples on the moon to keep alien germs away from Earth?
Should we store Mars samples on the moon to keep alien germs away from Earth? "The moon may become humanity's first line of biological defense." A team of researchers is advocating to use the moon as a secure site for biocontainment of extraterrestrial samples, particularly those from Mars, but also from other potential worlds like Enceladus, a moon of Saturn.
NASA's Mars MAVEN probe is dead
NASA's Mars MAVEN probe is dead The last time the agency heard from the probe was in December. NASA has officially ended the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, six months after it lost contact with the probe. MAVEN was the agency's first program dedicated to studying the Martian atmosphere and its evolution.
