In a rare event, NASA’s Mars-orbiting MAVEN spacecraft was forced to perform a previously unplanned manoeuvre this week to avoid a head on collision with red planet’s lumpy, crater-filled moon Phobos. The Mars Atmosphere and VolatileEvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft has been orbiting Mars for just over two years, studying the red planet’s upper atmosphere, ionosphere and […]
