I can't believe MGS is still going up there. It's as old as pathfinder!!! ohmy.gif does anyone know where to find information on how much UDMH/MMH fuel its got left? It can't be much since there's no appreciable magnetic field around mars it can't use magnetotorquers like hubble can for reaction wheel desaturation maneuvers so it must be forced to use some fuel all the time.... I can't imagine it can last much longer. Oh and how come MGS TES isn't being used for global dust characterization anymore sad.gif you'd think this would be a priority now that MER is on the ground....
