MAVEN Spreads Its Wings...

Check out these cool pics and video showing NASA's next Martian orbiter deploying its solar arrays during testing at Lockheed Martin's Space System facility in Colorado. MAVEN is on track to undergo shipping to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on August 2. The spacecraft will then launch to Mars from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station near KSC between late November and early December, and arrive at the Red Planet around September of next year.
