HiWish is a program created by NASA to request a location for the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to photograph.[1][2][3] It was started in January 2010. In the first months of the program, 3000 people signed up to use HiWish.[4][5] The first images were released in April 2010.[6] Over 12000 suggestions were made by the public; suggestions were made for targets in each of the 30 quadrangles of Mars. HiRISE has taken over 100,000 images as of October 7, 2025.<https://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/</ref>.
