Marconi Orbiter (GMO) will provide relay communications, timing and radiometric services to spacecraft approaching Mars and to relay users in the vicinity of Mars from 2008 to 2018. GMO will increase the quantity of data that relay users can send to Earth by orders of magnitude and dramatically increase the time during which operators on Earth can be in contact with robotic explorers on Mars. The GMO design team is developing standard processes and interfaces in cooperation with the de- signers of other Mars orbiters to enable relay users to easily access multiple relay orbiters.California Institute of TechnologyCaltechJPLJet Propulsion LaboratoryNASANational Aeronautics and Space Administrationcassinicloudsatdawn missiondeep spacedeep space explorationearthepoxiextrasolargalaxy evolution explorergalexjason 2marsmars odysseymars phoenixmars reconnaissance orbitermercurymoonneptuneplutoprobequick scatterometerquikscatrobotroboticsroverroverssaturnsolar systemspacecraftspitzer space telescopestardust missionuniverseuranusvenusvoyager missionwww.jpl.nasa.govjournal articlehttp://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/handle/2014/961754dcce088580fe1368eeb01a
