A NASA has resumed efforts to try to establish contact with the Maven (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) probewhich suddenly lost contact on December 6, on Mars.
The resumption of efforts was only possible due to the end of the period when the Red Planet and Earth are on opposite sides of the Sun, in which contact is not possible.
NASA is analyzing excerpts of data recovered from fragments of the last communication on December 6th.
The cause of the interruption of contact is not known.
NASA’s goal is to create a timeline with the rescued data to try to understand what happened.
