after all the Discovery, we have to look at the other Space Missions

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (acronym: MRO) is a multipurpose spacecraft scheduled to launch August 10, 2005 to advance human understanding of Mars through detailed observation, to examine potential landing sites for future surface missions and to provide a high-data-rate communications relay for those missions. It will replace the aging Mars Global Surveyor as a Mars observation platform.
