Mars Polar Lander -- Mars Descent Imager (MARDI)
The Mars Polar Lander entered the martian atmosphere on December 3, 1999,
and contact was never re-established after that time. On January 17, 2000,
after considerable effort to communicate with the spacecraft, NASA/JPL
declared the mission at an end. No data were returned from the MARDI
instrument. The pages linked to this site contain considerable background
information about the MARDI camera and science objectives. A new MARDI
has been manufactured by Malin Space Science Systems for the Mars Surveyor
2001 lander.
