what is it expected to tell us about mars? >> "maven" is an acronym for mars atmospheric and volatiles evolution probe. the satellite will study the atmosphere, look at the surface in hopes that a combination of the information about the atmosphere and the surface itself will help us better understand what happened to the atmosphere, what happened to all the water on mars. you know, we have agreed - everybody has gathered enough information that we are absolutely certain that mars was at one time covered with a vast amount of water, but the question we have to answer is what happened to the water, how did the disappearance of the water change the martian environment. that is a critical question to understanding the possibilities - what they may have been and may still be for finding life there. >> what will that tell you about the earth - that mars looked similar to earth - is there anything we can learn that will affect us? >> of course. the more we learn about the adjacent planets to earth, the more we can better understand

>> the think about, is mars is sort of an iconic planet, but it has been -- it seems so lifeless, marsn incredible amount in common with earth. once upon time, we know that mars has water on it. vast waters and as a result it seems likely that some sort of change took place overtime, that sucks that sort of living atmosphere either out into space, or perhaps into the crust of the planet, and by figuring that out, we get sort of a glimpse of what our planet might do 4 billion years from now. >> so talk a little bit about how this compared to other missions? well, there very been several, but this is the first that will sample the atmosphere, by scooping up layers and having look at them. we will learn things about space, weather, and why it is that the atmosphere there is so thin and cold. what is ironic about this particular mission is that just a little while ago, india send its first mission off to mars, and has its $73 million unmanned satellite orbiting the earth right now, building velocity to go to mars and it will be in a race with this mavin mission. and they are going to arriv

we know mars is completely dead. the other possibility of methane in the atmosphere is biological activity. this is where things are interesting. methane is a gas that doesn't stay that long in the atmosphere. it will migrate, it will go into space. a presence of methane in the atmosphere of mars has to be recent, recent activity, possible biological. it's a good aim, a cheap way to achieve this with this mission. >> it is quite cheep - $73 million price tag is less than a tenth of what the u.s. spent on their mission. how did they manage to do that? >> a variety of things. most money goes into the salaries of people that design and build it. certainly many in india is ch p cheaper and the mission is not long. it takes longer to develop. they are using technology - the rocket - the rocket they are going to launch is a modified version of something. also the spacecraft is bulky, more than one tonne in weight. the instrumentation is simpler. i think it's a cheaper version of what the united states, nasa is doing in a c

things to mars. we've been able to get spot on, but recognising that there are serious risks involved. >> india said the mission will check the atmosphere for methane. some are curious about whether it will work. let's listen to that. >> what is curious about this is they'll send a satellite there to sniff for methane. the satellite will be talking for is microbial flat u lens. nasa sent a rofer and hasn't been successful. >> we have the morse rove rer and hasn't detected mooeth an. how likely is it to detect it from space? >> the platform it has orbiting the planet gives it an opportunitiy to look at different places. there can be geologic sources. the exciting part it is to identify that flat u lens, to see if there's signals of life on the planet. this is an easy thing for them to do, to engage martian research. there are a few other instruments on the satellite looking at the geology and surface, doing atmospheric analysis as well. >> with all the nations involved in this - we have private corpor
