Did nobody notice this:
Ground Team Stays Busy on 10th Anniversary of NASA Mars Launch Ten year after launch, there is some trouble with a solar array motor and a comm problem probably resulting from this and entering safe mode. Nothing dramatic yet, but something to follow closely. There are other things than MRO and MER Analyst |

Well losing it wouldn't be good for the already loaded communications relays ...

Not that I'm saying I want MGS dead, just that if it were to be dead, it would make life easier for the DSN people. |

I bet Mike Caplinger would disagree with you. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

It would be a real loss to have this happen now. With MARCI taking over the role that MOC's wide angle global images have filled for so long, it would be nice to have some overlapping coverage. Not to mention having TES and passive MOLA coverage overlapping MRO. And, as for MOC high resolution, the amount of the planet covered by MOC so far and what HIRISE can hope to cover is a small percentage, so more would be very helpful. I hope the mission continues until it either breaks down (lets hope it hasn't) or has instrument failures that render it useless.
