Evidence suggests something has happened to the Maon probe on the far side of Mars, and NASA teams are trying to re-establish communication with one of their most advanced interplanetary satellites.
According to RCO News Agency, MAVEN, which has been operating in Mars orbit since 2014, in addition to its scientific mission of studying the Martian atmosphere and its interaction with the solar wind, plays a vital role in communicating between NASA’s Mars rovers and Earth. Together with other NASA and European orbiters, this spacecraft will provide global communications coverage for Mars surface missions such as Endurance and Curiosity.
On December 6, NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) lost contact with Maun as it passed behind Mars. This loss of communication is usually anticipated, and communication is re-established after the spacecraft leaves the shadow of the planet. But this time, on December 9, NASA announced that the signal was not received again and that teams were investigating the cause of the anomaly.
The data before the loss of communication showed that the orbit and systems of the spacecraft were in a normal state. If the orbit is not affected, NASA can still attempt to contact the spacecraft on its intended path.
NASA has announced that more information about Maon’s condition will be released as it becomes available.
