The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter entered orbit around Mars on 10 March after a nearly seven month, 500-million-kilometre journey. With the ability to send data 10 times faster than any previous Mars mission, MRO is designed to relay more science data from the Red Planet than all previous missio...
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO for short, is being readied for sendoff next year. The huge spacecraft carries a suite of instruments, including a camera system able to provide ultra-close-up images of Mars' surface, and a sounder to probe for water that might linger subsurface ...
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in orbit around Mars (after arriving on March 10, 2006).
Some HiRISE images show strange-looking formations. Sometimes it helps to look at Context Camera images to understand the circumstances of a scene. This image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is a close-up of a trough, along with channels draining

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.
Ten years after launch, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has revealed the Red Planet's diversity and activity, returning more data about Mars every week than the weekly total from all six other active Mars missions... And its work is far from over. ...
