Mars mission passes key test Mar 13
On Friday 10 March, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California celebrated the entry of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) into Martian orbit. After travelling some 0.5 billion kilometres since its launch last August, the spacecraft fired its thrusters and allowed itself to be captured by Mars' gravity. Assuming the probe's orbit can be correctly adjusted over the next six months, it should go on to provide huge amounts of scientific data - more than all the previous Martian missions combined - in search of evidence that water existed on the surface of Mars over long periods of time.
