Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution ( MAVEN) . It is a NASA's spacecraft and due to be launched on November 18 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and reach Mars on September 22, 2014. MOM is arriving there one day before.
MAVEN will focus on Mars' thin atmosphere, but rather than hunting methane, it is designed to help scientists figure out how the planet lost an atmosphere that at one time was believed to be thicker than Earth's.
MAVEN is going to explore the history of the atmosphere of Mars . whst it has been, how the climate has changed through time and how that has influenced the evolution of the surface and the potential habitability of any life or at least by microbes on Mars.
MAVEN will join two NASA rovers, two NASA orbiters and a European Space Agency satellite already studying Mars.
