NASA lost the Mars probe

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) admits the Mars probe had 10 years of their operation - the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) - ' seems to have ended its exploration career after NASA succeed in trying to contact it in the past 2 weeks '.

' MGS has completed its mission beyond all expectations, it has achieved many scientific achievements when it came to Mars, and will bring more discoveries when its data warehouse is being scientifically researched by scientists. continued analysis , "said Michael Meyer, NASA's leading scientist in charge of the Mars exploration mission.

NASA last captured the MGS signal on November 5 after previous reports said it had a problem with a solar collector. Since that time, trying to reconnect with MSG has not yielded any results.

MGS is the most 'senior' probe among NASA's five exploration vessels currently operating on Red Planet. When launched in November 1996, its original mission was to explore Mars for only one year (in time on Mars, about 2 years on Earth). Its trajectory is also longer than that of other Mars probes.

Among many important achievements of MSG on Red Planet, there are many small traces that seem to be formed by the flow of water; help NASA locate landing sites for Opportunity robots; draw Mars maps and study other potential lands on Mars .
