Our next question comes from Junichi from Niihama City. Since the astronomy -- I'm sorry, since the atmosphere of Mars is not very dense, is MRO going to observe the surface of Mars in high-resolution pictures, especially over the poles? Yes, we will. In fact, the fact that the atmosphere is not very dense actually helps us. The more atmosphere you have to look through, the more it can distort your images and other data. So, the fact that it's, it's less dense is a great thing in terms of looking at the surface. The other thing we have to worry about, really, in terms of the atmosphere are clouds. And certainly, for imagers, clouds would be a problem. Not so much for spectrometers or radar, but clouds can get in the way and obscure the surface.
