    NASA declares its Mars Maven spacecraft dead after six months of silence

    NASA has declared the Mars Maven spacecraft dead after six months of radio silence, ending a mission that studied Mars' atmosphere for over a decade. The spacecraft fell silent in December after entering a spin that drained its batteries, and a review board confirmed it is unrecoverable. Maven previously relayed data from the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers and contributed to understanding Martian atmospheric evolution.
