Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It’s doing pretty well for being 12 years old.
Certainly being a child during Apollo missions I love space talk and a nice break from Lock Her Up....
Think about the technology on the Voyager mission and is that not still sending us signals? I could look it up but does anybody know?
Amazing!
Will we see the launch of the Mars mission in our life time?
Ice on the lens?.................
My brother-in-law is on the MRO team. This orbiter has way out-performed it’s design expectations. It has been a terrific piece of science technology. It also relays info from the rovers and other surface experiments back to earth. It will be interesting to hear him discuss this lens blurring issue. They will be “all over it.”
John Batchelor might have something on this in his talkie tonight An amateur astronomer he usually keeps the last segment of his radio show to those developments.
