Mars Global Surveyor was launched in November 1996 and has been in
Mars orbit since September 1997. It began its primary mapping
mission on March 8, 1999. Mars Global Surveyor is the first mission
in a long-term program of Mars exploration known as the Mars Surveyor
Program that is managed by JPL for NASA's Office of Space Science,
Washington, DC. Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) and the
California Institute of Technology built the MOC using spare hardware
from the Mars Observer mission. MSSS operates the camera from its
facilities in San Diego, CA. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars
Surveyor Operations Project operates the Mars Global Surveyor
spacecraft with its industrial partner, Lockheed Martin Astronautics,
from facilities in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO.
