MAVEN Mission to Mars
@MAVEN2Mars
The mission to explore Mars' climate history through its upper atmosphere. Orbiting the red planet since Sept. 21, 2014. Account managed & verified by @LASPatCU
Go @EuropaClipper! Congratulations on the successful launch, and MAVEN team can’t wait to cheer you on when you pass by Mars on your journey to Europa!
It's not a straight shot to Jupiter – we'll be taking a looping path through the solar system, passing by Mars and Earth in order pick up speed boosts on our way to the outer solar system. europa.nasa.gov/mission/timeli…
Where did all the water on Mars go? For the first time, NASA's MAVEN orbiter has directly observed a process called atmospheric sputtering, which could be described as “doing a cannonball in a pool.” MAVEN's lead scientist explains: go.nasa.gov/4mInt7y
In March 2024, solar storms led to stunning auroras across the solar system, including at Mars, where the @NASAPersevere rover made history by detecting them for the first time from the surface of another planet. go.nasa.gov/3GSfXq4
Talk about a picture-perfect moment! 📸 @NASAPersevere has captured the first visible-light aurora from the surface of Mars! Coordinating with MAVEN, the science team was able to observe green aurora caused by a solar storm in March 2024. Learn more: science.nasa.gov/solar-system/p…
This weekend the @EuropaClipper mission performed a successful gravity assist at Mars! The MAVEN team wishes the best of travels as Europa Clipper continues it’s journey! Learn more about Clipper’s voyage ⬇️
The journey continues! Mars is behind us, and the next milestone may surprise you: Earth.

11 years ago, the MAVEN spacecraft launched on top a Atlas V beginning its trip to the Red Planet. #HappyLaunchAnniversary
Happy New Year... on Mars! 🎉 Because the Red Planet takes longer to orbit the Sun than Earth, its year is longer. 687 days, in fact. The last one was celebrated on Dec. 26, 2022. Confused? Don't be. This "Mars in a Minute" video has the answers.
This week, the MAVEN team is meeting in Boulder, CO to discuss spacecraft operations, new science results, and the future of the mission.
Congrats, MAVEN, on a whole decade of exploring! For the last 10 years, @NASAMars' MAVEN spacecraft has orbited the Red Planet, gathering data about its upper atmosphere. Here are the top 10 findings: go.nasa.gov/3XtVxbu
In celebration of @NASAMars MAVEN’s decade at Mars, we recap some of the most significant scientific results of this unique and long-lasting mission and its ongoing exploration of the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere. science.nasa.gov/missions/maven…
Happy Martian birthday to MAVEN! 🥳 #OnThisDay 10 years ago, the MAVEN spacecraft entered orbit around Mars.
What happened to Mars' water? 🤔 Learn more about the recent study of water loss at Mars using data from MAVEN and Hubble. ⬇️
Mars was once wet – so what happened to its water? 💧 Hubble teamed up with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission to find out more about how much water there was, what happened to it, and how its atoms escape into space: go.nasa.gov/3MBBbbv
As we mark the start of #PrideMonth, we're reflecting on how far we've come while recognizing the work still to be done. There's space for everyone — all genders and orientations — in exploration and discovery.
Over the past month, our @NASAMars rovers and orbiters have given us a front-row seat to solar storms on the Red Planet. We're tracking flares and coronal mass ejections – even auroras – to study how these events unfold in deep space: go.nasa.gov/3XkArht
MAVEN has been anticipating epic solar storms ever since the Sun entered a period of peak activity. NASA’s Mars rovers and orbiters have provided researchers with front-row seats to incredible observations of solar storms at Mars. Learn more: nasa.gov/solar-system/p…
