About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the MAVEN spacecraft, still in its shipping container, rests on the parking apron at the Shuttle Landing Facility following offload from a C-17 aircraft. The aircraft delivered MAVEN for processing ahead of a launch later this year on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. MAVEN, short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, will orbit Mars to study the Red Planet's upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail.
