The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is a spacecraft launched by NASA in 2005 to study the planet Mars. It is equipped with advanced cameras and instruments that allow it to capture high-resolution images and gather data about the Martian surface, atmosphere, and climate. MRO plays a crucial role in understanding the planet's geology and potential for past or present life.
Since entering orbit around Mars in 2006, MRO has provided valuable information that has helped scientists identify water sources, study weather patterns, and locate potential landing sites for future missions. Its findings contribute to our overall knowledge of the Solar System and the history of Mars.
