LITTLETON, Colo. – NASA's next mission to the Red Planet is undergoing extensive testing in preparation for its launch next year.

 


Here within a Lockheed Martin Space Systems high-bay cleanroom, technicians are in tender-loving-care mode, busily outfitting and testing the Mars Atmosphere And Volatile EvolutioN (Maven) spacecraft.


 


This probe has a literal thirst for knowledge.
