In the late 1990's and early 21st Century, a new fleet of Mars orbiters and landers, replete with state of the art surveillance equipment, began to collect much more detailed data than had previously been available and a less inert, more dynamic Mars began to reveal itself. From 1997, Mars Global surveyor, joined by Mars Odyssey in 2001, constantly monitored the planet's surface.

See: ‘Mars Mission’section on E7.ie for lists of surveyors and landers, and their respective developers and researchers.
