The Mars Global Surveyor used to study the surface of Mars dropped of the grid in early November and scientists fear the probe has been rendered irretrievable. The Mars Surveyor was launched in 1996 at an estimated cost of $247 million and has been well worth the investment providing a plethora of valuable information about the red planet during its 11 year tenure. If lost, the MGS will be sorely missed by the Mars community.
