Relating to Mars Express: "At the same time, ESA’s Mars Express mission is continuing its investigations of Mars, painting a new picture of the 'red planet'. This includes the first ever probing below the surface of Mars, new geological clues with implications for the climate, newly-discovered surface and atmospheric features and, above all, traces of the presence of water on this world." |

Yes, poor McCleese must be feeling like Sisyphus at this point -- he keeps getting that rock rolled ALMOST all the way to the summit before it rolls all the way back down again.
So far there is absolutely no indication that MRO will fail -- all its major systems have been tried out, and Doug McCuistion said it's working better than any in-flight spacecraft in his experience. (The only slight problem was noise in one of HiRISE's 10 channels, which vanished when it fully warmed up.) But then, Mars Observer worked very well all the way to Mars, too... |
