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 |

Still no contact yet
http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn10...rs-orbiter.html Late on Wednesday, MRO will try to determine MGS's location by taking a picture with a low resolution camera. Using this information, MRO will take another image of MGS on Friday using its High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) – the most powerful camera ever sent to Mars. The HiRISE image should be detailed enough to determine how MGS is oriented in space and how its solar arrays are positioned. |
