In it for the long haul: NASA Moon's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is marking 15 years at the Moon, and NASA Mars' Mars Odyssey orbiter is about to surpass 100,000 orbits at the Red Planet! Such long-term observations allow us to observe changing dynamics at these worlds, and pave the way for human exploration.
