Mars Telecommunications Orbiter
The Mars Telecommunications Orbiter ( MTO ) was a cancelled Mars mission that was originally intended to launch in 2009 and would have established an Interplanetary Internet between Earth and Mars. [1] [2] The spacecraft would have arrived in a high orbit above Mars in 2010 and relayed data packets to Earth from a variety of Mars landers, rovers and orbiters for as long as ten years, at an extremely high data rate. Such a dedicated communications satellite was thought to be necessary due to the vast quantity of scientific information to be sent to Earth by such landers as the Mars Science Laboratory .

Such a dedicated communications satellite was thought to be necessary due to the vast quantity of scientific information to be sent to Earth by such landers as the Mars Science Laboratory . However, on July 21, 2005, it was announced that MTO had been cancelled due to the need to support other short-term goals, including a Hubble servicing mission, Mars Exploration Rover extended mission operations, ensuring that the Mars Science Laboratory would fly in 2009 (despite the cancellation of Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, Mars Science Laboratory is scheduled to launch in late 2011), and to save the ill-fated Earth science mission Glory from cancellation [1] (Glory was later lost in launch). |

NASA planned to establish a so-called " interplanetary Internet " with the launch of the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter in 2009 . The spacecraft would have arrived in a high orbit above Mars in 2010 and then be used to relay data packets to Earth from a variety of Mars landers and orbiters for as long as ten years, at an extremely high data rate. Such a dedicated communications satellite was thought to be necessary due to the vast quantity of scientific information to be sent to Earth by such landers as the Mars Science Laboratory .

NASA planned to establish a so-called "interplanetary Internet" with the launch of the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter in 2009. The spacecraft would have arrived in a high orbit above Mars in 2010 and then be used to relay data packets to Earth from a variety of Mars landers and orbiters for as much as ten years, at an extremely high data rate. Such a dedicated communications satellite was thought to be necessary due to the vast quantity of science information to be sent to Earth by such landers as the Mars Science Laboratory . However, on July 21, 2005, it was announced that MTO had been cancelled due to the need to support other near-term goals, including a Hubble servicing mission, Mars Exploration Rover extended mission operations, ensuring that the Mars Science Laboratory would fly in 2009, and to save an Earth science mission called Glory from cancellation.
