Scientific paper

A computer error that occurred 5 months before NASA lost contact with the Mars Global Surveyor on 2 November 2006 led to the spacecraft's eventual battery failure and subsequent loss of orientation. This is according to a 13 April preliminary report from an internal NASA review board. The report, ``Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft Loss of Contact,'' is available at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mgs/
