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. |

In the article above, they plan to try to activate MGS UHF transmitter, listen for the carrier from the MERs and relay the results thanks to Mars Odyssey. But what prevents listening the MGS carrier directly from Mars Odyssey ? Incompatible frequencies or orbits ? |
