Does MRO's camera stop taking images regularly or is it a constant process? It seems to me if it's orbital pattern takes it over an area where a past spacecraft was lost it would be a waste to not get an image of the area. You're right it's defintely not the primary mission but it does make sense to look. Sure it needs to be a wide image but if the crash site IS located future passes could be used to get better images. And keep in mind MGS has been in orbit since 1999 I believe. Would love to see MRO there that long.
What I'm really looking forward to seeing is high res images of these gullies:
