MAVEN Science Team

The MAVEN Science Team is a group of scientists and researchers dedicated to studying Mars, specifically its atmosphere. MAVEN, which stands for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, is a spacecraft launched by NASA that orbits Mars. The team analyzes data from this mission to learn how Mars lost much of its atmosphere over time and how that has affected the planet's climate and potential for life. Their work helps improve our understanding of Mars' history and its similarities and differences compared to Earth.
