MAVEN's Trajectory to Mars

Published on Mar 20, 2014


This movie shows the cruise trajectory of NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, which was launched on Nov. 18, 2013. It will arrive at Mars on Sept. 21, 2014, to explore the planet's upper atmosphere, ionosphere and interactions with the sun and solar wind. The range and speed of MAVEN with respect to Earth, Mars and the sun, both in metric (kilometers) and Imperial (miles) units, is displayed along with a date and the number of days until arrival at Mars. The sun-centered trajectory of MAVEN, shown in blue, takes 308 days to transit from Earth's orbit in green, to Mars' orbit in red. The movie updates at a rate of twice per day and shows the MAVEN spacecraft, Earth and Mars locations.

MAVEN Post Mars Orbit Insertion News Conference

Published on Sep 21, 2014


A NASA news conference was held to announce the arrival of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft into Mars’ orbit at 10:24 p.m. EDT Sunday, Sept. 21, where it now will prepare to study the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere as never done before. MAVEN is the first spacecraft dedicated to exploring the tenuous upper atmosphere of Mars. After a 10-month journey, confirmation of successful orbit insertion was received at 10:24 p.m. from MAVEN data, observed at the Lockheed Martin operations center in Littleton, Colorado, as well as from tracking data monitored at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) navigation facility in Pasadena, California. The telemetry and tracking data were received by NASA’s Deep Space Network antenna station in Canberra, Australia. Following orbit insertion, MAVEN will begin a six-week commissioning phase that includes maneuvering into its final science orbit and testing the instruments and science-mapping commands. MAVEN then will begin its one Earth-year primary mission, taking measurements of the composition, structure and escape of gases in Mars’ upper atmosphere and its interaction with the sun and solar wind.

Stephen Bougher | MAVEN Overview

Published on Oct 1, 2014


Professor Stephen Bougher, a Co-Investigator on the MAVEN team, will speak about the MOI and overview of MAVEN. The goal of MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) is to determine the role that loss of atmospheric gas to space played in changing the Martian climate through time. Where did the atmosphere – and the water – go?

The magnetic tail of Mars

Published on Mar 28, 2019


Mars has a unique magnetic tail compared to other planets in our solar system. The MAVEN mission has demonstrated how the Martian magnetotail becomes twisted by its interaction with the solar wind.

In this MAVEN outreach webinar from March 27, 2019, Dr. Gina DiBraccio from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center describes what makes the Martian magnetic environment so different from other planets, and how processes in its magnetotail may contribute to atmospheric escape to space.
