Eventually.
Curiosity found evidence that complex organic molecules existed on Mars about 3.5 billion years ago.
Organic matter isn't definitive evidence of life.
But its presence makes the possibility of past life on Mars look increasingly likely.
After curiosity had roamed the planet for a couple of years,
The US space program sent another orbiter in twenty thirteen.
This time with a new goal.
While the existing spacecraft and rovers continue to search for signs of water and microbial life,
The new mission was to study the Martian atmosphere and climate change.
Mars is losing its atmosphere.
As it escapes bit by bit into space.
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission, known by the acronym MAVEN,
Was planned to study just how much atmosphere the planet has lost over time.
Maven also includes a citizen science component.
which crowdsources analysis by making data available to the general public.
Members of the public are invited to study the information and try to find patterns in Martian cloud shapes and cloud systems, for example.
Around the time Maven went into orbit,
A spaceship from India reached the red planet for the first time as well.
India's Mars probe, called Mars Orbiter Mission or
Mangalyan, meaning Mars craft, began orbiting the planet in 2014.
