Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is in the makings of having record collections of data on Mars.
"The spacecraft carries six instruments for probing Mars’ atmosphere, surface and subsurface to characterize the red planet and how it changed over time." As the distance between Earth and Mars shrinks and the planets get closer the informational data is expected to come in at an even higher rate. The glitch in the technological systems could slow down the process though. "MRO observations are an essential element of on-going studies of potential exploration sites for future missions to that time-weathered world—such as the Phoenix Mars lander to launch this coming August." Like technology in the business world the MRO needs top notch equipment for us to get an accurate estimate of Mars and its belongings.
