The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter ( MRO) is a spacecraft designed to search for the existence of water on Mars and provide support for missions to Mars, as part of NASA 's Mars Exploration Program. It was launched from Cape Canaveral on August 12, 2005, at 11:43 UTC and reached Mars on March 10, 2006, at 21:24 UTC.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter enters Martian orbit. April 30, 2005: the MRO spacecraft was delivered to the launch site. August 9, 2005: the August 10 launch opportunity was postponed because of reliability concerns over the Atlas V 's gyroscopes. August 10, 2005: concerns over the gyroscopes were resolved. Launch was scheduled for 7:50 am EST ...
After a time, the ice disappears, evaporating into the atmosphere. The ice is only a few feet deep. The ice was confirmed with the Compact Imaging Spectrometer (CRISM) on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The ice was found in five locations. Three of the locations are in the Cebrenia quadrangle. These locations are 55.57° N, 150.62 ...

Kamala Harris’ efforts to shut down “lock him up” chants targeting Donald Trump at rallies may be an effort to avoid further delays in his Jan. 6 election interference trial.
Design. Earth and Moon from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter taken by HiRISE. HiRISE was designed to be a high resolution camera from the beginning. It consists of a large mirror, as well as a large CCD camera. Because of this, it achieves a resolution of 1 microradian, or 0.3 meter at a height of 300 km.
The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars ( CRISM) was a visible-infrared spectrometer aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter searching for mineralogic indications of past and present water on Mars. The CRISM instrument team comprised scientists from over ten universities and was led by principal investigator Scott Murchie.
