Summary The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) mission has the primary objective of placing a science orbiter into a low and near-circular Sun-synchronous Mars orbit to perform remote sensing investigations to characterize the surface, subsurface, and atmosphere of the planet and to identify potential...
However, in the past few decades, robotic missions have found ample evidence that Mars is still an active place. A recent indication was an image taken by theMars Reconnaissance Orbiter(MRO), which showedrelatively fresh landslidesin a crater near Nili Fossae. This area is part of the Syrtis...
Using data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), planetary scientists have created one of the most unique and detailed maps of Mars ever. But fair warning, the biggest version of this is a could overload your computer. Global CTX Mosaic of Mars is the highest-resolution global image ...
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is a multipurpose spacecraft designed to conduct reconnaissance and exploration of Mars from orbit. The US$720 million spacecraft was built by Lockheed Martin under the supervision of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The mission is managed by the California Institute ...
This artist's concept of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter features the spacecraft's main bus facing down, toward the red planet. The large silver circular feature above the spacecraft bus is the high-gain antenna, the spacecraft's main means of communicating with both Earth and other spacecraft...

The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to keep using the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) past the mid-2020s, the space agency said on Friday.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter races past 50,000-orbit milestone As of Monday, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has clocked an impressive 50,000 laps of the Red Planet. The spacecraft has been instrumental in NASA’s ongoing efforts to unravel the secrets of Mars, and it’s not done yet...
The descent stage holding NASA’s Perseverance rover can be seen falling through the Martian atmosphere in this image taken on February 18, 2021, by the HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. An ellipse indicates where Perseverance touched down. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University ...
