摘要

Ground controllers successfully fired the thrusters on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Aug. 30, bringing an end to a six-month-long aerobraking maneuver and placing the spacecraft one step closer to being able to use its entire suite of science instruments. Launched in August 2005, MRO swung into an elongated orbit around Mars in March when it began dipping in and out of the Martian atmosphere, using the resulting friction to adjust its orbit. This technique, known as aerobraking, eliminates the need for the spacecraft to be launched with the large amount of fuel that would otherwise be required place it in the proper orbit for its mission.
