which it was an orbiter.

So these reconnaissance orbiter are kind of trying to find the foothills where you have a nice, safe place to land, but cool stuff very nearby is the idea.

You can fly the orbiter and the lander mission in either order.

the new Orbiter the Mars reconnaissance Orbiter to take even more detailed pictures and I said well I looked at him and I said well you guys probably have

Probe and the Solar Orbiter from the Europeans.

We had several orbiters there.

All of our orbiters also do secondary jobs that include relaying communications from the rover.

And then we still have the orbiter that was still orbiting around or flying around the comet at the time and doing its own work.

I know more about Lunar Orbiter than anybody at NASA.

I'll talk about the orbiter and the science instruments.

You can see a three stack orbiter at the top.

There's something called this Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter.

We have five Landers and Orbiters at Mars today.

still on Mars exploring um and the orbiters that have arrived at Mars taking fantastic pictures these are

And the same thing happens with orbiters. The Jet Propulsion Lab guy said, "We have orbiters around Mars already.

UAE-- they're going to be launching a Mars orbiter.

So you do get more data returned from the orbiter because it can communicate faster.

And so we're working very hard to see an orbiter fly there and follow up.

we can build machines that are-- I saw the Cassini orbiter, Saturn orbiter on the floor of its factory

at 200 miles an hour but they lost this Orbiter and just

he was planning photography for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, among other things.

And there's also overnight passes by the orbiters.

even today this morning one of the one of the orbiters around Mars actually got

And it sends its data through a UHF connection up to the orbiter, which receives the data and then relays it onto Earth.

That was discovered by Cassini, an orbiter in the Saturn system that NASA and the Europeans sent together in 2003,

It's a lot easier for the rover to squirt information up to an orbiter, which then can transmit the information back to Earth, something that we call comm relay-- communication

So what we do is, with the orbiter, we chase it down, and we close in on it, and we actually finally rendezvous with it.

already already gone to Mars through robotic means right now India has an Orbiter on Mars uh Europe has a new

matter what but there is a lot of discussion about having an Orbiter with people in it around Mars actually

Waiting in orbit would be a third spacecraft, an orbiter, that could capture the container and bring it back to Earth.

Modern spacecraft-- and I want to use an example like Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

And then I got to design an orbiter.

little Sojourner Rover that that uh caught everybody's imagination and then that same year another Orbiter arrived

that got much less attention but turned out to be spectacularly important and uh this was uh an Orbiter called Mars

But most of my talk is about doing this with rovers, and orbiters, and so forth.
