MSSS staff are involved in a variety of research and operational projects, including the Mars Global Surveyor Mars
Orbiter Camera, the Mars Odyssey Thermal Emission Imaging System (IR and VIS), the Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (launching in 2005), and the Phoenix Mars lander (launching in 2007).
In 2004 — 2006, as part of its contract to the Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory for Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars

The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars
Orbiter Camera (MOC) science investigation used 3 instruments: a narrow angle camera that obtained grayscale (black - and - white) high resolution images (typically 1.5 to 12 m per pixel) and red and blue wide angle cameras for context (240 m per pixel) and daily global imaging (7.5 km per pixel).
In addition, MSSS cameras on Mars Global Surveyor (the Mars
Orbiter Camera, MOC) and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (the Context Camera, CTX) acquired images of two small bodies in our Solar System: the martian satellites Phobos and Deimos.
