Maven stays silent after routine pass behind Mars
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Dec 14, 2025
NASA engineers are continuing efforts to restore contact with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter after the spacecraft fell silent during a routine pass behind Mars on December 6 2025. Before the loss of signal, telemetry from MAVEN indicated that the spacecraft and its subsystems were operating within expected parameters as it approached occultation by the planet.
