Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 3 PROJECT OVERVIEW Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Salient Features 4 Earth years in Mars orbit –2 years science mapping –2 years relay mode International science payload with 30 cm resolution imaging Navigational Aid / Relay Telecom Payload Launch date August 2005 Science Characterize Mars’ seasonal cycles and diurnal variations of water, dust, and carbon dioxide. Characterize Mars’ global atmospheric structure, transport and surface changes. Search sites for evidence of aqueous and/or hydrothermal activity. Map and characterize in detail the stratigraphy, geologic structure and composition of Mars surface features Detect on Mars the presence of liquid water and determine the distribution of ground ice in the upper surface. Characterize the Martian gravity and atmosphere in greater detail. Characterize site for future landed missions.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 8 Orbiter Features 1800 kg launch mass with JPL design principles compliant margins. 20 m 2 of solar array, providing ~2 kW of power. 3.0 m HGA attached directly to the bus with a 2 axis gimbal (no boom). –Design increases data rate over req’ts at maximum distance; increases data volume. Regulated multi-engine monoprop hydrazine system with engine out capability for MOI. Single set of deployments early in the mission. 3-axis stable for aerobraking. Pointing cross track and along track. Prominent risk management approach. Uses RAD750 with fast reboot capability.
