MAVEN: Ten Years of Science at Mars

Launched in 2013 and arriving nearly a year later, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft was designed to explore the climate history of Mars. Ten years after it was launched, MAVEN is still observing the Red Planet. Join Dr. Stephanie Howard, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, as she discusses the MAVEN spacecraft, what it was designed to do, and some of the contributions it has made to our understanding of Mars over the last ten years. This was recorded on November 16, 2023.
We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.
