A true martian workhorse, the Mars Global Surveyor has been returning vital data from the red planet for eight years. In late May, the Mars Orbital Camera aboard the spacecraft returned its 200,000th picture of Mars! This impressive image highlights a northern middle-latitude martian crater.

The camera system on Mars Global Surveyor is operated by Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, Calif.
