NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has successfully entered orbit around Mars, a planet known for swallowing up many of the probes that try to visit it.

 

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is on a mission to find out if water has existed on Mars for a long period of time (and in what form), armed with six instruments to help detect signs of water, and signs of the previous existence of water. NASA scientists hope the MRO will be able to definitively tell us if life could have ever existed on Mars - opening the door for future missions that search for signs of this life.
