Through three years of maneuvering, the MAVEN orbiter was able to support the Mars 2020 (M2020) Perseverance Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL), while also changing to a more relay friendly orbit and preserving a mission lifetime through 2030. The synchronization of the MAVEN orbit for M2020 EDL will be reviewed, followed by a description of the MAVEN phasing for EDL. Poten-tial concerns that arose from large density variations will be discussed, along with the interfaces between MAVEN and M2020.
