After a 10-month journey from Earth, the MAVEN spacecraft entered Mars orbit on September 21, 2014. The mission originally planned to gather data for one-Earth-year continues to provide unique insight into the history of #Mars ’ atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability.
It is a tremendous credit to the entire MAVEN team that the instruments and spacecraft continue to operate well and that the science continues to provide exciting results related to the #Martian upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and interactions with the Sun and solar wind.
