Hubble Space Telescope Helps Investigate the Mystery of Mars’ Escaping Water FriendsofNASA.org: Mars was once a very wet planet. Scientists know that over the last 3 billion years, part of the water went underground, but what happened to the rest? Now, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) Mission are helping to unlock that mystery. To understand how much water there was and what happened to it, scientists need to understand how the atoms escape into space. A team combined data from Hubble and MAVEN to measure the current rate of these atoms escaping into space. This information allowed them to extrapolate the escape rate backwards through time to understand the history of water on the Red Planet.

3moDwayne, there is some real interest in the MAVEN project. Our newest book #10 in the UAS/CUAS/UUV/Space series is entitled “How To Survive In Space”. One of our chapters is authored by LTC Jerry Drew on building and surviving in a Martian Habitat. If you come across further reports on the investigation please post them. Thanks Randy.
