NASA has confirmed that it has lost contact with its MAVEN spacecraft, which has been orbiting Mars for more than a decade. The loss of signal occurred as the spacecraft went silent while positioned on the far side of the Red Planet. Teams at NASA are currently investigating the anomaly and conducting an urgent hunt to re-establish communication with the essential Mars orbiter, which has provided critical data about the Martian atmosphere during its mission. The exact reasons behind the sudden loss of communication are still undetermined.
