Mars Global Surveyor

Mars Global Surveyor ( MGS ) was an American robotic spacecraft developed by NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched November 1996. Mars Global Surveyor was a global mapping mission that examined the entire planet, from the ionosphere down through the atmosphere to the surface. [1] As part of the larger Mars Exploration Program , Mars Global Surveyor performed monitoring relay for sister orbiters during aerobraking , and it helped Mars rovers and lander missions by identifying potential landing sites and relaying surface telemetry.

The Mars Global Surveyor ( MGS ) was a US spacecraft developed by NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched November 1996. It began the United States's return to Mars after a 10-year absence. It completed its primary mission in January 2001 and was in its third extended mission phase when, on 2 November 2006, the spacecraft failed to respond to messages and commands. A faint signal was detected three days later which indicated that it had gone into safe mode . Attempts to recontact the spacecraft and resolve the problem failed, and NASA officially ended the mission in January 2007.
