NASA prepares a new mission on Mars

The US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) will carry out a new mission on Mars next month in hopes of learning about the water on the planet despite the agency and the US government being shut down.

According to NASA, the Maven probe , the last mission mission on Mars, will be launched on November 18 this year. The main task of the Maven probe is to collect physical samples in the atmosphere of Mars to learn about water vapor levels and the evaporation rate of water here. Exactly understanding the amount of water on this planet will be an important premise to determine whether life can exist or not.

The Maven will take 10 months to arrive and will operate at 124km above the surface of Mars. When operating, the ship will orbit around 20,116 km per hour.

'We see a lot of water-related features on Mars such as finding signs of water on the surface of the planet in recent times,' Telegraph quoted Dr. Bruce Jakosky, director of the center. Cosmic biology at the Maven Institute of Technology and Research Studies, said.

Scientists are investigating the exact location where water exists in Mars and identifying water soaked into the crust or evaporated into space. Mars is said to have an abundance of water on the surface in ancient history. However, climate disasters that caused water on this planet disappeared and became barren today.

The Maven probe was produced by Lockheed Martin Aerospace Company and underwent many tests before being put into operation in space. The Maven is 11m long with many solar panels to maintain active energy and connect to NASA's Curiosity self-propelled device operating on the Martian surface.

The suspension of the US government caused NASA employees to quit their jobs. However, scientists from the Maven ship project still operate due to its important nature.
