You may be a tad confused. Olympus Mons is on Mars. The space shuttle never orbited Mars. Photos from the MRO and other NASA spacecraft have taken lots of actual photos of Mars. Perhaps your question belongs in Quora ;)

I’m not confused at all. I understand Mons is on Mars. Which is why I asked if any robots have ever been able to get close ups photos of it.

Do not see how this question can’t be asked in Reddit but ok 👍

EDIT: I see I did mention the space shuttle orbiting. I was wrong about that. Whatever it is that is taking the photos of Mons is what I was referring to.

Well, you later just said Olympus so then I thought of Greece 😂
