The NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) conducts independent, comparative reviews of operating missions within each division
to maximize the scientific return from these missions within finite resources. NASA uses the findings from the Senior Review to
define an implementation strategy and give programmatic directions to the mission and projects concerned.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Mars Express (MEx), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), New Horizons, Odyssey,
