NASA's MAVEN Mission at Mars Faces Communication and Spin Challenges
TL;DR Summary
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft has been silent since December 4, and efforts to contact it have been unsuccessful, raising concerns about its status. Despite this, other Mars orbiters continue their missions, and NASA is adjusting its operations to maintain communication with its surface rovers. MAVEN, launched in 2013, has significantly contributed to understanding Mars' atmosphere and its history.
