Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) är en amerikansk rymdsond som sköts upp mot Mars den 18 november 2013, med hjälp av en raket av typ Atlas V från Cape Canaveral Air Force Station i Florida. Sondens uppdrag är att studera Mars atmosfär. MAVEN gick in i omloppsbana runt Mars den 22 september 2014.
Upptäckter
Den 19 oktober 2017 publicerade NASA att MAVEN upptäckt att Mars har en magnetisk svans som påverkas av solvinden, detta är unikt i vårt solsystem enligt artikeln.[2]

Mars Hubble.jpg
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
