NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NASA has halted contact with all Mars missions due to solar conjunction, delaying efforts to reach the silent MAVEN orbiter last heard from on Dec. 6. The blackout began Dec. 29 and is expected to last until Jan. 16. Attempts to spot MAVEN with the Curiosity rover’s camera failed. NASA says surface rovers like Perseverance will continue operating autonomously during the pause.
