Chronology of discoveries of water on Mars
To date, interplanetary spacecraft have provided abundant evidence of water on Mars, dating back to the Mariner 9 mission Wiki
MRO files to explore issues i wont ignore!
MISSION_OBJECTIVES_SUMMARY = "
The driving theme of the Mars Exploration Program is to understand the role of water on Mars and its implications for possible past or current biological activity. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Project will pursue this ‘Follow-the-Water’ strategy by conducting remote sensing observations that return sets of globally distributed data that will: 1) advance our understanding of the current Mars climate, the processes that have formed and modified the surface of the planet, and the extent to which water has played a role in surface processes; 2) identify sites of possible aqueous activity indicating environments that may have been or are conducive to biological activity; and 3) thus identify and characterize sites for future landed missions.
The MRO payload is designed to conduct remote sensing science observations, identify and characterize sites for future landers, and provide critical telecom/navigation relay capability for follow-on missions. The mission will provide global, regional survey, and targeted observations from a low 255 km by 320 km Mars orbit with a 3:00 P.M. local mean solar time (ascending node). During the one Martian year (687 Earth days) primary science phase, the orbiter will acquire visual and near-infrared high-resolution images of the planet’s surface, monitor atmospheric weather and climate, and search the upper crust for evidence of water. After this science phase is completed, the orbiter will provide telecommunications support for spacecraft launched to Mars in the 2007 and 2009 opportunities. The primary mission will end on December 31, 2010, approximately 5.5 years after launch.
Science Questions Addressed —————————
The MRO mission has the primary objective of placing a science orbiter
into Mars orbit to perform remote sensing investigations that will
characterize the surface, subsurface and atmosphere of the planet and
will identify potential landing sites for future missions. The MRO
payload will conduct observations in many parts of the electromagnetic
spectrum, including ultraviolet and visible imaging, visible to
near-infrared imaging spectrometry, thermal infrared atmospheric
profiling, and radar subsurface sounding, at spatial resolutions
substantially better than any preceding Mars orbiter. In pursuit of
its science objectives, the MRO mission will:
- Characterize Mars' seasonal cycles and diurnal variations of water,
dust, and carbon dioxide.
- Characterize Mars' global atmospheric structure, transport, and
surface changes.
- Search sites for evidence of aqueous and/or hydrothermal activity.
- Observe and characterize the detailed stratigraphy, geologic
structure, and composition of Mars surface features.
- Probe the near-surface Martian crust to detect subsurface structure,
including layering and potential reservoirs of water and/or water ice.
- Characterize the Martian gravity field in greater detail relative to
previous Mars missions to improve knowledge of the Martian crust and
lithosphere and potentially of atmospheric mass variation.
- Identify and characterize numerous globally distributed landing sites
with a high potential for scientific discovery by future missions.
In addition, MRO will provide critical telecommunications relay
capability for follow-on missions and will conduct, on a
non-interference basis with the primary mission science, telecom and
navigation demonstrations in support of future Mars Exploration
Program (MEP) activities. Specifically, the MRO mission will:
- Provide navigation and data relay support services to future MEP
missions.
- Demonstrate Optical Navigation techniques for high precision delivery
of future landed missions.
- Perform an operational demonstration of high data rate Ka-band
telecommunications and navigation services.
Designed to operate after launch for at least 5.4 years, the MRO
orbiter will use a new spacecraft bus design provided by Lockheed
Martin Space Systems Company, Space Exploration Systems Division in
Denver, Colorado. The orbiter payload will consist of six science
instruments and three new engineering payload elements listed as
follows:
Science Instruments
- HiRISE, High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment
- CRISM, Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars
- MCS, Mars Climate Sounder
- MARCI, Mars Color Imager
- CTX, Context Camera
- SHARAD, Shallow (Subsurface) Radar
Engineering Payloads
- Electra UHF communications and navigation package
- Optical Navigation (Camera) Experiment
- Ka Band Telecommunication Experiment
To fulfill the mission science goals, seven scientific investigations
teams were selected by NASA. [<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GdW1lOYasAAKhV1?format=png&name=small />](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GdW1lOYasAAKhV1?format=png&name=small)
The planet Mars has two permanent polar ice caps of water ice and some dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide, CO2). Above kilometer-thick layers of water ice permafrost, slabs of dry ice are deposited during a pole’s winter,[1][2] lying in continuous darkness, causing 25–30% of the atmosphere being deposited annually at either of the poles. When the poles are again exposed to sunlight, the frozen CO2 sublimes.[3] These seasonal actions transport large amounts of dust and water vapor, giving rise to Earth-like frost and large cirrus clouds. Wiki
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter SPICE Data Archive File Formats ============
All text documents and other meta information files such as descriptions, PDS object definitions and detached PDS labels are stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows the files to be read by MS-DOS/Windows, Unix and MacOS operating systems.
The data files in this data set were prepared to be used under a UNIX environment. Therefore all SPICE text kernel files are UNIX text files, with a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the line, and all SPICE binary kernels files are UNIX binary files in which bit pattern structures for double precision and integer numbers follow the IEEE standard. While some of the data files on this volume can be used ‘as is’, converting the files to binary or text format native to the user’s computer may be required. Refer to the documentation provided with the SPICE Toolkit to find out whether conversion is needed in each specific case.
NAIF provides a tool (BINGO) that can convert either binary or text kernels from one format to another. This means that text files can have their line terminator changed and binary files can be converted to the native format of the platform of interest. For access to this tool, see the reference to the NAIF utilities website in the file ``/software/softinfo.txt’’.

6.1 Mission Overview
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) [1, 2] has a suite of instruments making observations at Mars, and it provides data-relay services for Mars landers and rovers. MRO was launched on August 12, 2005. The orbiter successfully went into orbit around Mars on March 10, 2006 and began reducing its orbit altitude and circularizing the orbit in preparation for the science mission. The orbit changing was accomplished through a process called aerobraking, in preparation for the “science mission” starting in November 2006, followed by the “relay mission” starting in November 2008. MRO participated in the Mars Science Laboratory touchdown and surface mission that began in August 2012 (Chapter 7).

Im not stable in LongBeach right now so im working out of every library on the Subway and LightRail Metrolosangeles lines, Im working on my personal web infrastructure. I lost me Momentum on my M_R_O and Cassini work i was compiling. I keep my favorites in Google Chrome but if i cannot get to a place that will let me use my ChromeProfile im super disabled. Please bear with me! I have Typography work thats not life or death but it got me a logical chance to send a tweet to vogue. I know magazines get taken over so im not a threat to talk to them. But there was friction between me and the girls bodygaurds. They were stalking me. I can swear I saw muna in an issue when i Arrived. I cant talk to Cardi_B! She know everything! I am learning how to turn content into like Magnatiles with Flexbox. I feel so much anger from the public! Im miserable! PPL were poisoning me at the base,m well everyone, a lady talked to me in the supermarket by Mori(Jose pi Place) and said she had Abestos poison from working in #MissionControl Covid all that shits a scam! She had the same symptoms I wake up with at After dealing with Childrens Hospital and Cancer only to find my late wife is with an athlete that has a bigger dick than me…
Basic concepts of flexbox
The flexible box layout module (usually referred to as flexbox) is a one-dimensional layout model for distributing space between items and includes numerous alignment capabilities. This article gives an outline of the main features of flexbox, which we will explore in more detail in the rest of these guides. readmore CSS Flex Items

Dear_Robin_Obrien
You told me to study the weather on mars … The Last Report has no weather updates, whas that your baby ? Im concenred bc it was a really big deal at the time… Maybe it moved? idk but listen Erika is at Harolds Chicken sometimes. She won a grammy for a nasty song you can play it here Latto - Big Energy (Official Lyric Video) but youtube dont like me so my lightbox might not work

I was brought on to get the mission out, jamie an this older white lady that loves the landing could not spell it out! But i was a superDub pioneer in JEhovahs witnesses an this side of my mission role is coming into view from their site ``` ARTICLE 19 works for a world where all people everywhere can freely express themselves and actively engage in public life without fear of discrimination. ``` if we get them to #Mayor_Karen with the california constitution who knows whats possible to free us from the censorship torture!
Mars Lithograph
Rover Components
The Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance, is based on the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover configuration, with an added science and technology toolbox. An important difference is that Perseverance can sample and cache minerals.
This image, taken in the Spacecraft Assembly Facility's High Bay 1 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, on July 23, 2019, shows a close-up of the head of Mars 2020's remote sensing mast. The mast head contains the SuperCam instrument (its lens is in the large circular opening). In the gray boxes beneath mast head are the two Mastcam-Z imagers. On the exterior sides of those imagers are the rover's two navigation cameras. NASA/JPL-Caltech
Dear Mro
Jamie Mantel/SenBillNelSon,
I dont know if you are still alive(jamie). I went to the Team Meeting for the Ecostress Instrument and got removed by Hotel Faculty! I went ontime and everythign! The people did not defend me. IDK what is p with the country bc im scared. I lost Coral! and Erika is Prosituted in Los Angeles well sold for, she was always sensitive intimately so i know she wanted to go someplace where she felt stable psychologically. I was supposed to go to Arcadia for a court date. During Covid Lockdown. After Erika dumped me, i made friends with a girl after Muna Ahmed died. Normani she was of age we went on a date. I was on Instagram as ClarkGabl3 but changed the screename to DeeLoveBomr bc i was wrioting graffiti an the word LOVER and did not think Clark Gable real life should be mixed up with mine at all! So I asked Dr_Pirrat if she wrote graffiti. Bc all the young ppl at JPL have this life online, its strange, I got excluded from my demographic bc i had a child. Now i cant mingle and hanging out with you old people dont seem to be doing much but getting me hurt like them strippers. U cant be close to every one, i work with you, and i put my hannds on that girl Normani and there is a huge population in Atlanta that will freak the fuck out! If I leave her alone inLos Angeles! I want to work and be acknowledged! im about to miss my meal.. I will write mre later. I want to hear the discourses on EcoStress so bad. But its just BadTiming
