  Pre- or post- Mars orbiter?

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

    I didn’t know about why that orbiter failed though, pretty funny!

      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.
