Mars Climate Sounder instrument does not have its own article, so more details would be nice here, eg. mass, how long it collected data, what did we learn from its data ? - Rod57 (talk) 10:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

If no one else does it first, I'll take a shot at adding those details after the end of February. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me!  16:45, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Has the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter landed before? 
When did it reach Mars?
How long has it been on Mars? 
Who made this Orbit? 50.106.91.66 (talk) 13:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, all of these questions are probably answered in the article, but since I'm here, I might as well answer them.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is an orbiter, which means it is designed to orbit around a planet, not land on it.
It reached Mars orbit on March 10, 2006, and has been in Mars orbit since then (18 years, 3 months and 19 days).
NASA created the MRO, and was responsible to navigating it to the correct orbit.
