How many spaceraft do we have in orbit around Mars?

This may sound like an odd question but we seem to have a lot up there. MGS is probably lost but that still leaves Odyssey, MRO and ...

...and Mars Express. With MGS looking dead there are only three working orbiters that I can think of.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter doing great work up there.

...and still to come is the Pheonix Mars Lander for launch in 2007, as well as the Smart Lander, Mars Telecommunications Orbiter and the Mars Science Laboratory in 2009, future projects under the Mars Scouts programme, and a series of MARSats.

It's going to be a very busy little planet.

Seanie.

we should go there soon before the tourists spoil it then
