NASA engineers lost contact with it about three weeks ago and are losing hope of ever hearing from it again. But NASA is celebrating its accomplishments rather than mourning its apparent death.
 
The Mars Global Surveyor arrived at the red planet nine years ago. It was the first of several orbiters that are surveying the cold, barren landscape, looking especially for signs of water and relaying signals from the two robotic rovers crawling over the terrain.
