    Pre- or post- Mars orbiter?

      Well they did for the moon landing, and have as a policy since 1979.

        The orbiter failed because while NASA used metric, the contractor (Lockheed Martin, I believe?) used imperial.

    It is worth pointing out though that NASA employees use imperial units in their everyday lives. Using both systems may have given US scientists and engineers a competitive advantage over European scientists and engineers.
