So it was pretty weird.
So hopefully we'll be able to hear it on Mars, actually.
Oh, so there's a microphone there.
It took a long time.
So I'm trying to remember when Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was first approved.
But I think it was when I was starting grad school or something.
And then I worked on it as a postdoc.
And that was 2005.
So that's when it arrived at Mars.
So it's a long time.
Normally, for a lot of these, it takes like five to 10 years to get missions sent.
And you may even do development work on the instruments even prior to that.
So in some cases, it's like 20 years of people's lives where they go through stages of instrument development, and then they propose, and then they might lose, and they propose again.
And then it's still like a few years to get it together.
No, I don't think so.
Yeah.
There's a lot from JPL.
There's one from Norway.
The atmospheric science package is from Spain, so that's our other international collaboration.
I'm trying to remember who else.
