MAVEN's Journey to Mars

MAVEN has been under development since 2003, including concept development, formulation, and formal development for flight. The original proposal was submitted to NASA in 2006 and MAVEN was selected to move forward with production in 2008. Processing and assembly of the spacecraft began at Lockheed Martin in Waterton Canyon, Colorado in August 2012, and, one year later, the spacecraft was shipped to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in preparation for its flawless launch in November 2013. It has been a long journey and now, with the spacecraft about to enter Mars orbit on September 21, 2014, this compilation video explores some of the steps along the way. A lot of work goes into producing a spacecraft that is capable of withstanding the harsh conditions experienced during launch and the rigors of traveling for months, even years, through space. Congratulations to the team that has brought MAVEN to the precipice of joining an amazing fleet of explorers at Mars and helping to solve the climate mystery of the Red Planet.
