Introduction to MAVEN Dave Brain LASP / University of Colorado On behalf of the MAVEN team

Mars was Once Wet Water was stable in liquid form at the surface for long periods of time

Two Mysteries in One

Up Down Where Did the Atmosphere Go?

What Causes “Up”s? The Sun and Solar Wind

MAVEN Objectives Escape of Atmospheric Gases to Space: Measure drivers, reservoirs, escape Assess atmospheric loss over time
